India’s fate in the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup hangs in the balance as it faces Argentina in a crucial second-round clash at the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen on Monday.
A 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in its last match means India must win by at least two goals to keep its semifinal hopes alive. If it manages to do so, its fate will then depend on the result of the Netherlands-England clash immediately afterwards.
Argentina’s experienced campaigner Matias Rey, a member of the 2016 Rio Olympic gold-medal winning side, will be a key figure once again. The six-time World Cup participant has made 329 international appearances.
For India, the biggest challenge will be turning possession and chances into goals. It created opportunities against the Netherlands but lacked the finishing touch, while the Dutch capitalised after the break, scoring three times to turn the match around.
