A late penalty stroke from captain Harmanpreet Singh proved to be the saviour of the Tokyo Bronze medallists as they edged past the Black Sticks by 3-2.\u00a0  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Harmanpreet scored the winner for India to put them back in the lead. He converted a penalty stroke in the dying moments of the game. Harmanpreet went to the left of the goalkeeper Dixon Dominic, who also went the correct way but the stroke eluded him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, New Zealand drew the first blood with Sam Lane scoring the first goal through a penalty corner in the eighth minute. India equalized in the second quarter on the back of a\u00a0Mandeep\u00a0goal from a rebound on a penalty corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>India took the lead for the first time in the 34th minute when midfielder Vivek Sagar Prasad scored from the field. The goal was under a bit of scrutiny as New Zealand players protested that the ball had not gone past the white line of goal. The TV umpire took a look\u00a0at the goal and deemed it to be a legal one as he did not have conclusive evidence to overrule it.<\/p>\n<p>India were a bit sloppy in the field at several times, especially with the possession. They would have to take care of it. Had it not been a late winner from the skipper, India would have had to settle for a draw.<\/p>\n<p>In the other two matches of Group B, Australia defeated Argentina 1-0 with a Govers Blake strike in the second quarter of the match. Belgium overpowered Ireland in their opener 2-0 win. Boon Tom put Belgium 1-0 up when he scored a goal in the 25th minute before HENDRICKX Alexander doubled it up with a 49th-minute strike.<\/p>\n<p>India now face Argentina in their second match on July 29 at 4:15 PM IST.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/paris-olympics-harmanpreet-singhs-penalty-strike-guides-india-home-in-tensed-opener-against-new-zealand-2024-07-27-943990\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP Indian hockey team.
