<p data-start="477" data-end="747"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">India&rsquo;s women&rsquo;s hockey team showed grit and determination to battle back from two goals down and draw 2&ndash;2 with Argentina, only to fall short in the shootout, losing 0&ndash;2 in their FIH Pro League 2024/25 encounter at Lee Valley Hockey &amp; Tennis Centre, London, on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p data-start="749" data-end="1057"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Argentina led 2&ndash;0 through a brace from Agustina Gorzelany (27', 37') before India stormed back with goals from Navneet Kaur (50') and Deepika (60') in the final quarter. However, in the ensuing shootout for the bonus point, India failed to score, while Brisa Bruggesser and Sophia Cairo netted for Argentina.</span></p>
<p data-start="1059" data-end="1353"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The first quarter was tightly contested, with both sides struggling to make clear chances. India had more circle entries in the first half despite Argentina&rsquo;s high pressing strategy. India earned their first penalty corner in the 25th minute, but Cosentino denied Deepika and Navneet&rsquo;s efforts.</span></p>
<p data-start="1355" data-end="1641"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Argentina broke the deadlock through Gorzelany&rsquo;s precise drag-flick from a penalty corner. She repeated the feat in the third quarter to double the lead. India continued to press forward and were finally rewarded when Navneet beat a defender and slammed in a goal with 10 minutes to go.</span></p>
<p data-start="1643" data-end="1851"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">India equalised in the dying moments with Deepika converting a penalty corner, forcing the game into a shootout. Unfortunately, India couldn&rsquo;t convert any of their attempts, handing Argentina the bonus point.</span></p>
<p data-start="1853" data-end="1990" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Despite the result, India&rsquo;s fighting spirit and late comeback were commendable, reflecting growing depth and confidence within the squad.</span></p>
