Mandeep’s last-minute goal helps India beat Argentina 4-3

Mandeep Singh

Mandeep Singh scored a last-minute decisive goal after drag-flicker Jugraj Singh's two powerful penalty corner strikes as the Indian men's hockey team beat Argentina 4-3 in a drama-filled second match of its FIH Pro League tie and avenge its first leg shoot-out defeat here.

Jugraj scored in the 20th and 52nd minutes after Hardik Singh struck in the 17th minute - that too from a penalty corner - before Mandeep deflected a long pass into Argentina goal with just 26 seconds left in the match.

Argentina's goal-scorers were hockey Della Torre Nicolas (40th), Domene Tomas (51st) and Ferreiro Martin (56th). After Sunday's win, India remained at second spot in the league standings with 16 points from eight matches, behind the Netherlands.
