India Defeat Hosts Malaysia 3-1 In Sultan Of Johor Cup Hockey Tournament
Goals from Aditya Lalage, Amandeep Lakra and Rohit helped Indian colts decimate hosts Malaysia 3-1 in the Sultan of Johor Cup tournament in Johor Bahru, Malaysia on Saturday. After drawing their opening match against Pakistan, the Uttam Singh-led India junior side was in its elements and took the lead in the 28th minute through Lalage, which was followed by goals from Amandeep (37th) and Rohit (54th) as the defending champions earned three full points. India had a confident start with forward Angad Bir Singh leading the charge and working in tandem with Aditya to set up goal-scoring chances. However, an alert Malaysian goalkeeper Rafaizul Mohamad kept India from taking an early lead.
