Victoria falasco

FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian women’s hockey team endured a 1-4 loss to Argentina in their FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Women) match at the Lee Valley Hockey & Tennis Centre on Tuesday. Deepika’s powerful drag-flick (30') brought India level just before half-time after Victoria Falasco (29') had opened the scoring moments earlier, but a clinical late performance saw Argentina take control.

Agustina Gorzelany struck three times (42', 54', 55') to seal the win, despite a promising display from India that saw multiple attacking chances go narrowly unconverted.

Despite a goalless first quarter, India drew confidence from three shots on goal in the opening ten minutes, with Salima Tete and Lalremsiami both coming close to breaking the deadlock. India played a high-octane, fast-paced game, stringing together quick passes and surging forward with possession, looking to unsettle the Argentine defence. In contrast, Argentina maintained a more measured approach, pressing high up the field with composure and structure.
