The Hindu: Juniors make it a double delight

India’s junior men’s hockey team on Sunday notched up an emphatic 5-2 win over Germany to win the 4-Nations Invitational Tournament here.

India was on the front foot throughout. Parvinder Singh fetched the lead in the 10th minute, and Armaan Qureshi doubled it in the 22nd minute.

India kept dictating terms, forcing Germany to defend for most of the second-halftoo. Gurjant Singh (40) and Varun Kumar (44) scored in quick succession.

Germany got a goal back in the 46th minute via Philip Schmid and then Schmid converted another penalty-corner in the 65th minute to reduce the deficit.

India, however, sealed the title in the 69th minute with Simranjeet Singh finding a fifth goal to take home the title.
