2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil Aug 05-21,2016 - India Concede Late Goal to Lose 1-2 to Germany in Men's Hockey Monday Aug 08,2016







India's hockey team conceded a goal barely three seconds from the hooter to lose 1-2 to Germany in its second match of the pool phase in the Olympic Games here on Monday Aug 08,2016


Christopher Ruhr deflected the ball from close range in the dying moments as Germany earned a crucial win in a Pool B match that India rightfully deserved a point. It was a familiar scene where India failed to remain in control in the final moments.

Niklas Wellen scored in the 18th minute to give the two-time defending champions the lead before Rupinder Pal Singh (23rd) brought India level with his third goal in two matches.

It was the fourth loss for India against Germany in 11 Olympic matches. Overall, it was the 51st loss for eight-time Olympic champions India against the European side in 94 matches.
