After defeating New Zealand, the Indian hockey team's second match ended in a draw with Argentina. In the Pool B match, Team India held Rio Olympic champion Argentina to a 1-1 draw. The first goal came on the tenth penalty corner India got in this match, which tells the whole story itself. In the last match also, India defeated New Zealand 3-2 due to Harmanpreet's goal on penalty stroke in the 59th minute and this time also the captain averted Team India's defeat.

Hockey team was not seen in colour

Team India, which won the bronze medal in Tokyo Olympics, did not look in full form against Argentina.

Team India looked weak on the penalty corner front. Argentina completely dominated the match. Argentina took the lead in the 22nd minute on the basis of Lucas Martinez's goal. After that, Argentina made Team India yearn for a goal. Argentina's goalkeeper Santiago Tomas stood like a wall and foiled many attacks of Harmanpreet.

Argentina made a mistake again

It seemed that Argentina would take revenge for its defeat in the pool round of Tokyo Olympics, where it was defeated by Team India 3-1, but this did not happen.

Luckily, India got a penalty corner and Harmanpreet scored a goal to bring Team India back. Now Team India has to play against Ireland on Tuesday. Winning this match is very important for Team India because after this it has to face strong teams like Belgium and Australia, where winning is going to be very difficult.
