FIH Hockey Pro League: India’s never-say-die attitude came to the fore in their match against Argentina as they won 5-4 in their fourth match of the European leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24.

For India, Araijeet Singh Hundal (7’), Gurjant Singh (18’) and Harmanpreet Singh (29’, 50’ and 52’) were on target, while for Argentina, Federico Monja (3’), Nicolas Keenan (24’), Tadeo Marucci (54’) and Lucas Martinez (57’) scored goals.

It was India which started well, keeping the ball for most of the first quarter and came up with accurate passes to make their way into the Argentina striking circle. However, it was Argentina that drew first blood when Federico Monja (3’) found the back of the net from a close range to give them a 1-0 lead. In response, India equalised quickly as Araijeet Singh Hundal (7’) scored a brilliant field goal.
