IND-W 1-4 ARG-W Hockey Highlights, FIH Women’s Pro League 2024-25: Gorzelany Hat-trick Gives Argentina Victory Over India In London

"Argentina is ranked No. 2 in the world and has won seven of their 12 FIH Pro League matches so far. Coming into this leg of the league, we knew they would be one of the toughest teams to beat. But we won't go down without a fight -- we'll give it our all in both matches. The team has been training well to take them on and has been working on various strategies to win crucial points against them."

"As you saw, the team gave Australia a tough fight in the last two matches, and we're planning to do the same against Argentina. We'll give it our all and aim to come out victorious. A win against Argentina will not only help us gain points but will also give the team a big morale boost as we head to Antwerp and then Berlin for our matches against Belgium and China"

The FIH Pro League, both men’s and women’s, will be broadcast live on Star Sports 3, Star Sports Select 2 and Sports 18 HD. One can also stream the same on the JioHotstar app and website.

Savita Punia is kept busy by the opposition with ARG-W having a pop at the Indian goal but Punia is equal to it and thwarts it away.

PENALTY CORNER!!! India women get a penalty corner and Deepika fires in a low shot to level the scores.

End of Q2 and it's 1-1!

Fourth and final quarter in play and the question remains whether Salima Tete's-led side get the next goal?

Indian women's team have a so-so day at the FIH Women's Pro League game against Argentinian women as they spurned the penalty corner. The corner hits their own player, and Harendra Singh isn't happy on the sidelines.

Now it's Argentina's turn to waste their PC as the world no 2 side are unable to convert the chance. 2-1 it remains!

Agustina Gorzelany wins a penalty stroke and it the writing is on the wall for India women as the forward makes no mistake as she buries it past Savita Punia for the second time.

3-1!
