The Indian men's hockey team clinched a second successive bronze medal at the Olympic Games, defeating Spain 2-1, marking the first time in 52 years the team has won back-to-back Olympic medals. This victory serves as a fitting farewell for veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who faced intense pressure during the last minutes of the match.

India had a tense end to the game, with Spain earning two short corners in the final minute. However, the Indian defense held strong. India's success follows their bronze win at the Tokyo Games after a 41-year hiatus, living up to expectations despite an imperfect buildup to the Games.

Harmanpreet Singh stole the limelight, netting both goals, while Spain's Marc Miralles opened the scoring. India dominated possession, especially in the first quarter, and showcased strong defense and offensive play through the match.
