India edge past Belgium in match punctuated by defensive brain fades

Sundeep Misra

It was a nine-goal epic. And one which heaved and bounced like a river in spate. Great moves, smart deceptive play punctuated by defensive brain fades but a match that India would like to remember in a year that should see them march up the rankings, one tiny step after the other. In a 5-4 winning score-line, India led twice (1-0, 4-3) and Belgium fought back each time. Belgium led twice (2-1, 3-2) and India punched hard, controlling the match in the middle and pushing from the flanks. It was at 4-4 in the 56th minute when Tom Boon had equalised off Belgium’s fourth penalty corner and both teams would probably have downed shutters and be happy to trade points. Not yet.
