Striker Sebastian Dockeier struck twice in Belgium's 3-1 triumph over India on Sunday Aug 14,2016 putting paid to the latter's hopes of making it to the men's hockey semi-finals at the Olympics after a long gap of 36 years.
India, who last won an Olympic medal -- a gold -- at the 1980 Moscow Games, faced an aggressive Belgium side that scored thrice after conceding a goal against the run of play in the 15th minute.
Akashdeep Singh deflected from a close angle but Belgium hit back as Dockier equalised in the 34th minute.
Dockier gave Belgium the lead in the 45th minute and Tom Boon scored a field goal in the 50th minute to make it 3-1 -- the scoreline that remained till the end.
