Sultan Of Johor Cup: India Hold New Zealand To A Thrilling 3-3 Draw
New Zealand: Indian junior men's hockey team held their nerves to end their round-robin stage with a thrilling 3-3 draw against New Zealand at the ongoing Sultan of Johor Cup on Friday. Gurjot Singh (6'), Rohit (17') and Talem Priyobarta (60') put their names on the scoresheet while Jonty Elmes (17’, 32’, 45’) scored a hat-trick of goals for New Zealand with his powerful dragflicks.
While India continue to lead the points table with 10 points, India's fate to make the final will be determined by Great Britain and Australia's matches against Japan and Malaysia respectively later on Friday.
India got off to a strong start with a fine goal from Gurjot Singh in the 6th minute. Gurjot's timeliness was impressive as his first shot on goal, assisted by Sukhvinder, bounced straight back after the goalkeeper made the save. In his second attempt, he skillfully lofted the ball to the roof of the net to earn India an important 1-0 lead.
