Amstelveen: India suffered a close 1-2 defeat against Argentina in their FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 game at the Wagener Hockey Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands today. Jugraj Singh (4') netted a goal for the Indian team, while for Argentina, Tomas Domene (9’, 49’) scored a brace.

Winning, they say, is a habit in sport. And so can be losing. At the moment, the Indian men’s hockey team simply can’t find a way to get past the finish line in the FIH Pro League. On Thursday in Amstelveen, they found the most bizarre way yet to lose a match, going down 1-2 against Argentina after a barely believable sequence of events in the closing minutes. With this, they have lost all their four games in the European leg of the tournament so far.
