The Indian men's hockey team squandered a goal's advantage to lose 1-3 to hosts Belgium in Boom and slump to its second consecutive defeat in the ongoing tour of Europe. India had earlier lost by a solitary goal to Belgium in their opening game of the tour on Wednesday. The lead didn't last long as Belgium scored the equaliser through Amaury Keusters (9th minute). Just at the stroke of halftime, Belgium extended their lead through Victor Wegnez's field strike. India pressed hard in search of goals but the Belgian defence stood like a rock to thwart any danger to their citadel.
