India score three past Ireland to secure victory: FIH Men's Pro League

By our Special Correspondent

India maintained their winning momentum in the FIH Pro League with a deserving 3-1 win over Ireland at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.

Craig Fulton's side went behind early in the first quarter after Jermey Duncan calmly converted his chance. Ireland were the better team in the opening 15 minutes and they punished India for being too passive.

India responded well in the next quarter. They showed urgency on the ball and pressed really well. The equaliser came in the 22nd minute of the game after Mandeep Singh came up with a smashing finish. He received the pass from Abhishek and ran diagonally to enter the circle and executed the powerful hit.
