India beat Great Britain 4-2 in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout to secure a place in the semifinals of the men's hockey event at the Paris Olympics. The match unfolded dramatically on Sunday as India played with one man down for over 40 minutes.

This marks India's second consecutive semifinal appearance at the Olympic Games. The Indian team found themselves at a disadvantage when Amit Rohidas received a red card for raising his stick against a Great Britain player.

Despite the setback, seasoned goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, in what is his last international tournament, showcased an impenetrable defense. India took an early lead through Harmanpreet Singh in the 22nd minute with a penalty corner strike, but Great Britain equalized through Lee Morton's field effort in the 27th minute. After Rohidas's controversial send-off, Great Britain intensified their attack, attempting to capitalize on their numerical advantage.
