India Beats Ireland In Hockey At Paris Olympics: The Indian men’s hockey team defeated Ireland 2-0 in the most recent Pool B game at the 2024 Paris Olympics to take a big step towards the quarterfinals of the competition.

While the women’s team failed to qualify for the Olympics, the men’s team did and will be contending for a medal. The Indian team, captained by Harmanpreet Singh, won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which was India’s first Olympic medal in hockey since a gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

The team is in Pool B alongside Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Ireland, and New Zealand. India defeated the Kiwis 3-2 in their opening game and then drew 1-1 against the Argentines.

India looked more attacking in the opening few minutes compared to the previous game in this tournament. With a lot of circle penetrations in the first quarter, a goal finally came in the 11th minute. Gurjant Singh and Mandeep Singh connected as they took the ball in the opponent’s ‘D’; a shot at the target was stopped by a defender’s body, leading to a penalty stroke. Skipper Harmanpreet stepped up and converted from the spot, 1-0.

India, a team known for their prowess from penalty corners, has not been able to convert too many at the 2024 Olympics. But in the 19th minute, they were awarded a PC, which Harmanpreet converted to take the score to 2-0 in favor of the Indians. And the half ended with this scoreline.

The Irish came into the second half with their attacking pants on. They troubled India with several circle penetrations. They even got their first penalty corner in the 41st minute, which then became a second penalty corner. The Indian defense, led by veteran keeper PR Sreejesh, saved both attempts at goal.

From this point. Both teams would make circle penetrations and win a PC but fail to convert for several minutes. In the 50th minute, the Indian skipper received a green card for arguing with the referee and had to sit in the dugout for two minutes.

However, the Indian defense held firm, and team India won the game with the final scoreline of 2-0.

With this win, Harmanpreet Singh’s men have climbed to the top of Pool B with two wins and a draw in three games and have taken a massive step towards a place in the quarterfinals of the men’s hockey tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The top four teams from this group will make it to the next round.

India now has the two most challenging games ahead of them in this group. At 1:30 PM on Thursday, world No. 5 ranked India will face world No. 4 ranked Belgium. Then, on Friday at 4:45 PM, India will face No. 3 ranked Australia.
