Veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh made a dramatic save from the penalty spot, but it was not enough as India conceded a goal just 38 seconds into the match and eventually lost 2-3 to Great Britain in the men's FIH Pro League hockey match on Sunday.
Phil Roper's early strike put India on the back foot, yet the team soon found their rhythm. Sukhjeet Singh's remarkable goal four minutes into the second quarter tied the game, after which India showed high-quality play to control the match until halftime.
However, Great Britain was awarded another penalty stroke, and despite Sreejesh's heroic save, Alan Forsyth's goal in the 50th minute sealed India's fate. Missed opportunities, including a crucial chance by Mandeep Singh, haunted the Indian side in this intense contest.
