Tokyo Olympics bronze medallists India beat Spain 3-2 via the shootout in the FIH Pro League at the Kalinga Stadium here on Sunday. Goalkeeper Krishan Pathak was the hero in the shootout as the Spanish players clearly struggled to beat him as often as they would have liked.

Earlier, India skipper Harmanpreet scored the opening goal of the match off a penalty corner in the fifth minute and then doubled the lead in the third quarter. Spain fought back and scored through skipper Marc Miralles off a penalty corner in the third quarter.
