Torneo del Centenario 2023: India men's hockey team beat Netherlands 2-1, finish third
FirstpostCaptain Harmanpreet Singh and Dilpreet Singh scored in India’s hard-fought victory, while Thierry Brinkman scored the lone goal for the Dutch side. The Indian men’s hockey team notched up a 2-1 win over reigning FIH Hockey Pro League champions Netherlands 2-1 in the third-fourth placing match at the 100th Anniversary Spanish Hockey Federation - International Tournament on Sunday. In-form Indian skipper Harmanpreet, who had to re-take the drag-flick after the first attempt was stopped by the Netherlands’ first rusher, was on target fetching his team an important 1-0 lead in the 15th minute. While Amit Rohidas’ drag was padded away by the Dutch goalie Mauritis Visser, India’s fearless striker Dilpreet Singh picked up a fine rebound to push the ball into the post.
