IND 0-0 BEL (0바카라�)

It바카라�s end-to-end stuff in the opening few minutes, with both teams going for it all. Belgium started strongly, but India pushed with a good counter-attacking move, and Dilpreet almost got a goal touch ahead of the goalkeeper.

The action is going on from one circle to another, with India바카라�s intent to get an early goal very clear.

IND 0-0 BEL (4바카라�)

A lethal move from Belgium, and it results in a terrific finish from Arthur de Sloover 바카라� his eighth career goal for his national team. The #23 danced past the Indian defenders down the ride side of the circle and shot from a difficult angle, but it flew over Pathak and into the back of the net.

IND 0-1 BEL (8바카라�)

The first 15 minutes have been an attacking battle between these two sides. Despite a bright start from India, Belgium grew into the match, winning the duels, while India are struggling to stitch together their forward passes and pose any threat going forward.

It could have changed in the final seconds as Abhishek had a snap shot right before time ran away, and it hit the goalkeeper on his chest. Phew!

IND 0-1 BEL (15바카라�)

India win a PC after some good play from Mandeep Singh, and with Harmanpreet back on the pitch, Hardik injects it towards the captain, and he has a terrific dragflick, but Vandenbroucke was alert and made a good save.

Belgium break with lightning pace, and has a swipe at the Indian goal, but Pathak got down quickly to keep it out of harm바카라�s way. Good play all around.

IND 0-1 BEL (18바카라�)

Wonderfully executed PC by India. The ball is injected to Harmanpreet, and while the Belgian defenders are expecting a powerful dragflick, the skipper instead plays it to Sukhjeet바카라�s stick, who pokes it past Vandenbroucke to level the scores on his 100th cap!

IND 1-1 BEL (21바카라�)

What a glorious chance for Belgium! After some good play by Mandeep and Dilpreet on the other end, Belgium break forward, and Stockbroekx receives a long high ball with one hand, and then hits a powerful stroke that beats Pathak but clips the inside post and comes back! So, so unlucky.

IND 1-1 BEL (24바카라�)

What an exceptional play from Abhishek! He picked Wegnez바카라�s pockets down the left side of the pitch and ran with the ball, and then tried to find the near post of Vandenbroucke but it was just wide, hitting the advertising board on the side netting.

IND 1-1 BEL (28바카라�)

It바카라�s half-time at Antwerp, and both sides have enjoyed periods of domination in the 30 minutes so far. Belgium are fast, and they are sometimes too fast for Pathak바카라�s liking, with the goalkeeper getting regularly beaten by the hosts.

However, India have fought hard, and Sukhjeet바카라�s goal has given them a lifeline. Can India come back in the second half?

IND 1-1 BEL (HT)

The second half is underway at Antwerp, with the scores level. Coach Fulton said that India 바카라�weathered the storm at the beginning바카라�. Can the Men in Blue bounce back after seven losses in a row and secure a vital win?

IND 1-1 BEL (30바카라�)

Belgium forced India to play centrally, which left a lot of space on the flanks to exploit. The ball is played to De Kerpel, and he plays it masterfully across the face of the goal. Karkera tries to save it, but it falls to Stockbroekx, and he puts it into an unguarded net.

IND 1-2 BEL (34바카라�)

Abhishek receives the ball on the edge of the D but falls down under the challenge from a Belgian defender. The loose ball falls to Sukhjeet, who is alert and swings his stick at it, and it goes past Vandenbroucke. Two goals apiece for both sides!

IND 2-2 BEL (35바카라�)

Two goals in two matches for Amit Rohitdas! It바카라�s a carbon copy of his goal from the last match. India win their third PC, and the ball is played to the defender, who hits it with all his might, and it flies past everyone and thwacks against the back of the net. India take the lead for the first time in today바카라�s game.

IND 3-2 BEL (36바카라�)

A first career goal for 21-year-old Hugo Labouchere, and it바카라�s a simple finish. The younger receives the ball and flicks it hard towards the goal, and it beats Karkera.

IND 3-3 BEL (41바카라�)

It바카라�s ping-pong in the box as India push for a lead in the final minute of the third quarter. Manpreet slams it home after a shot by Shamsher바카라�s shot bounced off Vandenbroucke, but Belgium immediately protest, saying that the time was up before the goal went in.

The referees call for a referral amid lowd boos from the crowd, and the goal is overruled as the umpires decide that time had passed.

IND 3-3 BEL (45바카라�)

India had an early chance through Dilpreet in the opening minute of the quarter, but the game has settled down a bit here, with both teams attempting to build their attacks with just about eight minutes left to play.

IND 3-3 BEL (52바카라�)

Belgium had a late chance from a PC, but Labouchere바카라�s shot was wide off the mark. The hosts refer for another PC with two minutes left on the clock, but the video umpire does not agree.

IND 3-3 BEL (58바카라�)

A very big call from the video referee, as a penalty stroke is awarded to India with 80 seconds left on the clock! De Sloover receives a yellow card!

Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Harmanpreet steps up for the penalty stroke, and it바카라�s hit coolly towards the left corner. India take a lead under controversial circumstances, but the visitors won바카라�t mind!

IND 4-3 BEL (59바카라�)

The match is over, and what a contest it has been! Belgium dominated well and truly for large parts of the match, but India showed a never-die character to come back from behind twice. With the match tied at 3-3, India got a big call in their favour as they were awarded a penalty stroke, and Harmanpreet scored to end India바카라�s seven-game losing streak!

IND 4-3 BEL (FT)
