India Goes Down to Argentina in Azlan Shah Hockey Final


NEW DELHI, May 17: Argentina lifted the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup beating India 2-1 with the golden goal at Kuala Lampur on Sunday.

Argentina, who were the clear favourite for the championship, had beaten India comprehensively in their league encounter with 5-1 goal margin.

India failed to continue their winning streak in the all important final, after registering six wins in-a-row in the tournament.

On Saturday, India pulled off a narrow 2-1 win in their last round robin league match against hosts Malaysia to book a berth in the final of the Azlan Shah hockey tournament.

With that win, India gathered 12 points from their six matches and set up a title clash against Argentina, who have finished with 14 points, on Sunday.
