India’s hopes of a revival in the FIH Men’s Pro League were dashed as they suffered a 0-2 loss to Spain, continuing their unabated slump in form here on Saturday.
Goals from Ignacio Abajo (6th minute) and Ignacio Cobos (36th) proved decisive as Spain combined clinical finishing with disciplined defending to secure the win.
The Spaniards capitalised on their chances, while India were unable to convert promising opportunities despite sustained attacking intent.
India had lost all four of their matches in the home leg at Rourkela (two losses against Belgium and Argentina each), while conceding 19 goals combined.
