A spirited performance by the Indian men’s hockey team made it possible to hold England to a 1-1 draw in its third match at the ongoing 100th Anniversary Spanish Hockey Federation International Tournament here on Friday, July 28
The draw meant India are out of contention for Sunday’s final.
While Sam Ward scored for England in the fifth minute, India bounced back to level the scores in the 29th minute through Harmanpreet Singh.
After their 1-2 loss against the hosts and 1-1 draw with Netherlands, India were looking for a win and a spot in the final.
India will now play for the third place, either against Spain or Netherlands.
