In the entire World Cup, the Indian team had failed to convert penalty corners into goals, but in this match, India scored many goals through this medium.
It may come late, it may come right, but its effect will not be the same. This is about the Indian men’s hockey team, which defeated Japan 8-0 in one of its matches in the World Cup. Despite such a spectacular victory, the fate and the picture will remain the same that the Indian team could not even come close to the title at home. (Twitter/Hockey India)
The Indian team, which was knocked out by New Zealand in the cross-over, inflicted a crushing defeat on Asian champions Japan in the official classification match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup on Thursday, 26 January. (Twitter/Hockey India)
However, it remained tight that Team India took a long time to get into the form. Still, there was some consolation for the Indian team and its fans, who will now take on South Africa in the 9th to 12th place match. (PTI)
The first two quarters of the match were completely empty and both the teams could not score any goal. Then in both the quarters of the next half, India started raining. In the third and fourth quarter, India won by scoring four goals each. (PTI)
Captain Harmanpreet Singh, who was struggling with poor form throughout the tournament, finally managed to score two goals. Both his goals came from penalty corners, which has been India’s weakest side in this World Cup. Harmanpreet scored goals in the 46th and 59th minutes. (PTI)
Abhishek, 23, also scored field goals in the 36th and 44th minutes for India. Apart from them, Mandeep Singh (33rd), Vivek Sagar Prasad (40th), former captain Manpreet Singh (59th) and Sukhjit Singh (60th) scored goals. (PTI)
