India rout Pakistan to enter quarters
Continuing with their impressive run, India blanked Canada 3-0 to register their second consecutive win at the Hockey World League Semi-Final here today.
In the absence of key players like Rupinderpal Singh, India's young backline, led by Harmanpreet Singh, has displayed gritty performances and conceded just two goals. Harmanpreet Singh enthralled the Indian fans who had turned up in full strength with India's fourth goal in the 33rd minute. Pakistan pulled one back late in the match with a 57th minute strike from Muhammad Umar Bhutta.
Secretary General of Hockey India Mohd Mustaque Ahmad stated,"The players of the Indian Hockey team has always been in support of the Indian Armed Forces who guard the safety of our nation". SV Sunil deflected the ball and Talwinder netted the ball in the final moments. Following their third win in as many games India moved to the top of the table with nine points.

India previously played The Netherlands at the Rio Olympics where they narrowly lost to the Dutch 1-2. Talwinder first got a touch on Ramandeep's goal-bound shot in the 21st minute and his opportunism then produced a shoulder-high deflection on Akashdeep's diagonal ball into the circle in the 24th minute.
