HALF TIME:
Momentary lapse by India costed them dear in the 34th minute when Roc scored a goal. This could have been a very good occasion for India where they could have gone into the HALF TIME with a goal lead but an opportunity missed.
Whereas, Indian defense has been good, their forwards look too detached from the defense.
India needs to attack much more in the 2nd half.
34`
Goal
Spain equalize! Score is 1-1. What a steal by Santi Frexia in the middle, he goes down the left flank, tries a shot, Sreejesh defends but the rebound is carried to a waiting Roc Ollva at the top of the Indian circle. He smacks it in.

The latest & greatest news, reviews, scores and players from Field Hockey,
Indian should be content with their performance today, especially for the better show put up by the Indian defense line. Had Indian forwards did their job, the result would have been in India's favor. Containing a team like Spain with a draw is definitely something to cheer about for India. After 2-dying minute losses, this draw should bring some respite in the Indian camp.
