Buenos Aires: India completed their second win in as many days in the FIH Pro League as Harmanpreet Singh (11’), Lalit Upadhyay (25’) and Mandeep Singh’s (58’) goals helped the visitors outclass the Olympic Champions Argentina 3-0 in Buenos Aires on Sunday.
Argentina got off to a great start, raiding the Indian circle in numbers. Krishan Bahadur Pathak, who was playing his 50th international match, made three brilliant saves in the first quarter to deny the hosts from taking the lead. Forwards Macio Casella and Martin Ferrerio’s efforts from close range were expertly pushed away by Pathak.
India gradually found their feet in the contest with Rajkumar Pal testing Argentina’s veteran goalkeeper Juan Manuel Vivaldi. In the 11th minute, Harmanpreet scored his third goal in two days, drilling a penalty corner away from Vivaldi’s left and into the corner of the net.
