FIH Pro League: Indian Men's Hockey Team Defeats Reigning World Champion Germany 3-0
FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian men's hockey team came up with a comprehensive performance to beat reigning World Champion Germany 3-0 in the FIH Hockey Pro League match at the Lee Valley Hockey Stadium here on Saturday. Goals by Harmanpreet Singh (16'), Sukhjeet Singh (41'), and Gurjant Singh (44') helped India begin their final leg of the prestigious league in the right stead.
There was plenty of action in the opening quarter with both teams playing on par with each other. While Sukhjeet Singh and Mandeep Singh stood tall in the forward line, creating some insatiable chances, the team's experienced goalkeeper PR Sreejesh was put through the hard yards with the Germans winning a flurry of PCs in the opening minutes.
But Sreejesh proved just why he remains the cornerstone of India's defence. The save he made off Gonzalo Peillat's powerful flick, putting his right hand up high, was particularly a joyous moment for India fans.
