India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Heartbreak for India
Both PR Sreejesh and Harmanpreet Singh pointed out the sectors where India could not beat Germany but they will have to bounce back now with Spain waiting in the bronze medal clash.
Skipper Harmanpreet Singh (7th) and Sukhjeet Singh (36th) scored for India, while Gonzalo Peillat (18th), Christopher Ruhr (27th) and Marco Miltkau (54th) were the scorers for Germany.
Full time and India have lost the game 2-3. A valiant fight from Harmanpreet Singh and Co but Germany proved to be too powerful. Bronze medal match against Spain will be India's final chance to add a hockey medal to their tally.
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Less than 3 minutes to go
Less than 3 minutes to go and it is now or never for India. They will need to launch attacks on the German goal right now and Sreejesh is coming off. All outfield players for India.
Marco Miltkau scores and a brilliant goal from open play to make it 3-2 for Germany. A perfect attacking play ended in Miltkau putting the ball inside the net. Huge setback for India!
Lukas Windfeder with the latest penalty corner and PR Sreejesh once again with the save. Great Britain players can attest on the fact how much Sreejesh can change a game with the saves and German players are also learning the same right now.
10 minutes to go in the match and once again, it is Sreejesh who denied Germany from taking the lead. Niklas Wellen with a powerful shot but directly into Sreejesh's pads.
That is the end of the third quarter and the final 15 minutes will be massive for both sides. The score is 2-2 and the next goal can end up deciding who moves on to fight for gold and who will have to settle for the bronze medal match.
The other major flow in India's gameplan in the Paris Olympics 2024 has been their resources when it comes to drag flickers. Harmanpreet is the only option for them right now and that makes it easy for opponents to block his path during penalty corners. That is something India will have to work on.
India seem to have found a second wind after the goal and Abhishek had a good chance to hand them the lead. However, he was not able to trap the final pass but the attack will surely boost the morale right now.
India have equalised and it is game on! The press was completely focused on Harmanpreet and Sukhjeet had the perfect opportunity to just guide it into the goal. The comeback is complete! India are back in the game and this is a battle for the spot in the final.
India's third penalty corner of the quarter but almost the same result once again. A powerful shot from Harmanpreet cleared by a defender. Peillat once again with the defence.
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Two more chances wasted
Back to back penalty corners for India but still no success. Both times, it was saved by the defenders or the goalkeeper. They will have to try creating something from open play.
It is time for the third quarter. India are high on confidence from the win over Great Britain and they will have to use that in this match against Germany.
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Is Rohidas' absence hurting India?
India have looked vulnerable when it comes to defending penalty corners and one of the reasons for that can be the absence of Amit Rohidas. His suspension has been a bit problem for India till now and they will have to find a proper alternative soon.
It is half-time in the men's hockey semifinal and Indian fans will not be happy. India took the lead in the first quarter but Germany have fought back brilliantly.
Christopher Ruehr scores from the penalty stroke and India trail 1-2. India took the lead but Germany have reclaimed the game now. This is not looking good!
This match has really opened up after Germany's equaliser and both teams are now trying hard to grab the lead ahead of the half time. Germany had a good chance that was saved by the defenders and seconds later, India were on the other side but nothing came off that attack.
Lalit Upadhyay with the best chance of the second quarter for India but he fails to convert the opportunity. Just the goalkeeper between him and the goal but his shot went above the goal as disappointment was clear on the fans' faces.
What a miss! Abhishek found himself in the perfect position with the goal in front of him. However, he miscued the shot slightly as he flew wide of the goal. Big chance squandered.
Gonzalo Peillat scores from the penalty shootout and this is not good at all! Germany received their first penalty corner and Sreejesh had no chance of saving the powerful shot. Peillat vs Harmanpreet in this game till now and the score is 1-1.
The second quarter begins and Germany had the first chance. Hinrichs found himself in a good position but he could not trap the ball properly to take a shot at the Indian goal.
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: End of first quarter
That is the end of the first quarter. India lead 1-0 and they will be proud of the fact that Germany hardly had any circle entry in the match till now. India will have to defend properly now and hope for a goal from open play.
The first goal once again came from a penalty corner and who else but skipper Harmanpreet Singh. His shot got deflected off the stick of a German rusher and the goalkeeper had absolutely no chance of saving it.
It has been Team India all the way till now. More than five penalty corners for them in this quarter till now with one getting converted by Harmanpreet Singh. This is looking really good!
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Vinesh Phogat has done it!
Vinesh Phogat has won her 50kg semifinal clash and India are assured of at least silver in the wrestling event. Huge moment for India. Now the onus is on the hockey team to provide more good news.
The first chance of the game for Germany fell to Marco Miltkaubut the shot was saved rather easily by Sreejesh. He has been phenomenal in the tournament and the Indian goalkeeper will have a big part to play tonight.
India vs Germany Hockey LIVE: Two misses back to back
A huge miss for India! The first penalty corner was saved by the German goalkeeper but India received another one almost instantly. However, Harmanpreet's shot was wayward as India squander two big chances.
