Indian men's hockey team suffers third consecutive defeat in Pro League, loses 3-4 against Argentina
Sloppy defending cost the Indian men's hockey team dearly as it went down 3-4 to Argentina, slumping to its third consecutive defeat in the European leg of the FIH Pro League here on Wednesday. India had earlier lost 1-2 and 2-3 against Olympic champions Netherlands here. On Wednesday, the Indian defence were caught off guard by the Los Leones as they scored through skipper Matias Rey (3rd minute), Lucas Martinez (17th), Santiago Tarazona (34th) and Lucio Mendez (46th) to secure the win. India's goals were scored by skipper Harmanpreet Singh (12th, 33rd) and Abhishek (42nd). After back-to-back defeats against Netherlands, the Indians started positively and had the better share of possession in the first quarter. But it was Argentina who took the lead in the third minute through captain Matias Rey, courtesy an unforced error from Indian defender Amit Rohidas. Trailing, India, however, pressed hard and dominated the remaining of the quarter and finally restored parity in the 12th minute when skipper Harmanpreet converted a penalty -- the team's first penalty corner -- as both the teams were locked 1-1 at the end of the first quarter. Argentina, however, were the better side on display in the second quarter and took the lead again two minutes into the quarter when Martinez scored from top of the circle, courtesy again a defensive error from Rohidas. While the Indians used the ariel ball to perfection, unforced errors and sloppy defending proved to be their undoing. Three minutes after the change of ends, India equalised through a penalty stroke conversion by Harmanpreet, his second goal of the day. But India's joy was shortlived as 60 seconds later another defensive lapse cost the Harmanpreet-led side dearly when Tarazona pounced upon a mistake to hand his side the lead again. Argentina secured their first penalty corner soon but India defended stoutly. India pressed hard and secured their second penalty corner in the 39th minute but failed to utilise the chance. In the 42nd minute, Abhishek equalised for India, scoring from a rebound after Jarmanpreet Singh's initial shot from top of the circle was saved by Argentina goalkeeper Tomas Satiago. But it was heartbreak for India 18 seconds into the final quarter when Mendez scored to hand his side the decisive lead, courtesy another defensive lapse from the Indian backline. India had another chance to equalise when they were awarded a penalty corner in the 55th minute but wasted the opportunity. With three-and-a-half-minutes remaining and trailing by a goal, India withdrew their goalkeeper for an extra field player but that move didn't yield any result. India will again play Argentina in a return leg match here on Thursday.

India Lose 3-4 To Argentina, Suffer 3rd Straight Loss In FIH Pro League
Last Updated: Indian men's hockey team lost 3-4 to Argentina in the FIH Pro League, their third consecutive defeat. Careless defending proved costly for the Indian men's hockey team as they fell 3-4 to Argentina, suffering their third consecutive defeat in the European leg of the FIH Pro League on Wednesday. India had previously lost 1-2 and 2-3 against Olympic champions the Netherlands. On Wednesday, the Indian defence was repeatedly caught off guard by Los Leones, who scored through skipper Matias Rey (3rd minute), Lucas Martinez (17th), Santiago Tarazona (34th), and Lucio Mendez (46th) to secure the victory. India's goals came from skipper Harmanpreet Singh (12th, 33rd) and Abhishek (42nd). Following back-to-back defeats against the Netherlands, India began positively and enjoyed greater possession in the first quarter. However, Argentina took the lead in the third minute through captain Matias Rey, capitalising on an unforced error by Indian defender Amit Rohidas. Trailing, India increased the pressure, dominated the remainder of the quarter, and finally drew level in the 12th minute when Harmanpreet converted a penalty corner, the team's first. The score remained 1-1 at the end of the first quarter. Argentina were the stronger side in the second quarter and regained the lead two minutes in when Martinez scored from the top of the circle, again profiting from a defensive error by Rohidas. While India effectively utilised the aerial ball, unforced errors and sloppy defending proved their undoing. However, India's joy was short-lived. Just 60 seconds later, another defensive lapse proved costly when Tarazona capitalised on a mistake to restore his side's lead. Argentina secured their first penalty corner soon after, but India defended resolutely. India pressed forward and earned their second penalty corner in the 39th minute but failed to convert the opportunity. In the 42nd minute, Abhishek levelled the score for India, scoring from a rebound after Jarmanpreet Singh's initial shot from the top of the circle was saved by Argentina goalkeeper Tomas Santiago. But heartbreak followed for India just 18 seconds into the final quarter when Mendez scored to give his side the decisive lead, courtesy of yet another defensive lapse by the Indian backline. India had another chance to equalise when they were awarded a penalty corner in the 55th minute but squandered the opportunity. With three-and-a-half minutes remaining and trailing by a goal, India replaced their goalkeeper with an extra field player, but the tactic proved fruitless. India will face Argentina again on Thursday. First Published: June 11, 2025, 20:56 IST
