Following a vibrant, colourful and entertaining opening ceremony, a large crowd turned out to witness the host nation in action. <\/p>\n
However, it was Argentina’s Leones (Lions) that came away with all three points in this Pool B encounter.\n<\/p>\n
The team coached by Carlos Retegui were in excellent form in the opening two quarters of the match, establishing a 2-0 lead ahead of half time. <\/p>\n
Prolific goal-scorer Peillat opened the scoring in the 3rd minute with a deflected penalty corner rocket that left Indian shot-stopper P.R. Sreejesh stranded, before Joaquin Menini scored from close range with another set piece.<\/p>\n
Despite a powerful Rupinder Pal Singh shot being cleared off the line, Argentina were well worth their lead and continued to play excellent hockey in the third and fourth quarters. <\/p>\n
Eventually, a third goal arrived, with Peillat grabbing his second with a penalty corner drag-flick that sailed into the roof of the net in overtime.<\/p>\n
