Goals galore on blockbuster day of FIH Hockey Pro League matches
Another riveting day of FIH Hockey Pro League action unfolded in both Antwerp and London on Tuesday, featuring several high-scoring encounters with 27 goals scored across the six matches.
India fall 1–4 to Argentina in FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Women)
Deepika (30’) scored in the first half to keep India in the fight
London: The Indian Women’s Hockey Team endured a 1-4 loss to Argentina in their FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Women) match at the Lee Valley Hockey & Tennis Centre on Tuesday. Deepika’s powerful drag-flick (30') brought India level just before half-time after Victoria Falasco (29') had opened the scoring moments earlier, but a clinical late performance saw Argentina take control. Agustina Gorzelany struck three times (42', 54', 55') to seal the win, despite a promising display from India that saw multiple attacking chances go narrowly unconverted.
Case of missed opportunities for Salima Tete and Co as Agustina Gorzelany’s hat-trick powers Argentina to 4-1 win
A 4-1 scoreline perhaps flattered Argentina but it was a result brought about by India's inability to convert periods of dominance into goals and the world No 2 having an elite goalscorer like Gorzelany in their ranks.

Before Argentina’s first goal came late in the first half, the best openings to score were fashioned by India. Before Argentina’s second goal to retake the lead in the third quarter, India had two golden chances from open play when three attackers were overloaded in front of a solitary defender but failed to convert and take the lead.
