India vs Spain Men's Hockey World Cup Highlights India have defeated Spain and would be proud of their defensive efforts as they saved three penalty corners not allowing their opponents to score even a single goal. Although, they themselves lacked when it came to the attacking third and could convert only of their six penalty corners and one penalty stroke. Goals were scored by vice-captain and defender Amit Rohidas in the first quarter and midfielder Hardik Singh in the second quarter.
India would now play England in their second group game and that game would be the decider for whether they top the group or not. England beat Wales 5-0 in their opening game and therefore another mouth-watering clash would await the fans at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela.
