Indian Men's Hockey Team Loses To Spain 0-1 In 5 Nations Tournament

The Indian men's hockey team began its 5-Nation Tournament on a disappointing note, losing 0-1 to lower ranked Spain on Friday. Alvaro Iglesias scored the only goal of the match in the 29th minute. The Indian team, which has qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics after winning gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games, is ranked third in the world while Spain is eighth. Before Friday, India and Spain had played against each other twice this year and the result had been even. India beat Spain in a World Cup group match in January while the European side was victorious in a tournament at home in July. The first quarter of the match saw both the teams earn a penalty corner each but neither managed to find the back of the net.
