Argentina hands down a humiliating 2-4 defeat to the hosts in the 7th place decider. Crowd and right ambience did not help India which at one point of time was fighting with a score of 1-1. The irony is the hosts conceded three goals in four minutes between 43rd and 46th, soon after equalizing the solitary goal lead of Argentina.
India went for the lemon time having a goal dificient. On return in the 42nd minute, Kim Long Hae of Korea awarded a stroke, as Vikram Pillay was stick checked even as he was taking a shot at goal from near the goal mouth.
Argentina went for the Referral, which India survived and then Sandeep Singh converted with all comforts.
Then came the venomous four minutes in which Martin Vila posted a brace, and then Facundo Callioni added another one, Indian defence not existing for a while.
Shivender Singh scored a goal in the 49th minute, despite attacks thereafter India could not make use of any of their attack.
Just one win and draw to boot in six matches, India was lucky to figure among the top eight.
