India hold nerve to beat Belgium 5-4 in second-leg of Four Nations Hockey tournament


A top-notch performance saw Indian Men’s Hockey Team beat Belgium 5-4 in their second match at the second-leg of Four Nations Invitational Tournament here at the Gallagher Hockey Stadium on Thursday. It was Belgium who forced a foul in the Indian circle to win a PC in the 37th minute. With a runner missing on the baseline, as they broke too early before the flick, Belgium tried a variation that worked with Felix nudging the ball into the post that put Belgium in 2-1 lead. With both teams unrelenting in their efforts, the final quarter was nerve-wracking as India came back from the break pressing Belgium high up. With Dilpreet Singh lurking around unmanned, it was another perfectly timed deflection by him that registered the win for India.
