Bhubaneswar, Dec 7 :
India squandered their hard-earned lead on two occasions as they slumped to their second successive defeat losing 2-4 to World Cup bronze medallists Argentina in the Hero Champions Trophy, here today.
India’s perennial problem, their fragile backline came to hurt them again as their lead didn’t even last a minute on both the occasions in the second Pool B match of the day, played in-front of 7000 strong capacity crowd at the Kalinga Stadium.
For India, Akashdeep Singh (30th) and Gurjinder Singh (37th) scored the goals, while Lucas Villa (30th), Juan Lopez (37th), Gustin Mazzilli (49th) and Joaquin Menini (59th) found the net for the winners.
While Indian forwards created chances today, the defence were chasing shadows on a number occasions when the Argentines counter-attacked. (PTI)
