Mandeep Singh scored India’s lone goal
London: The first international outing for the newly appointed Indian Chief coach South African Craig Fulton did not go the way he would have wished. He would not have liked his team to finish his maiden match by conceding a goal virtually in the dying seconds. It was undoubtedly a hard fought encounter, nothing unexpected, where India lost (1-2). The opener of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2022-23, Europe leg of course lived upto the top billing, though, for the sparse but vocal Indians gathered at the Lee Valley Stadium in London the match must have been a toast, but will not be remembered for long when they drive back home.
Despite the 2-1 defeat, the Indian men’s hockey team leads the FIH Pro League standings. Harmanpreet Singh and Co will play Great Britain next on Saturday.
