Boxer Nikhat out; Hockey team loses to Belgium

August 01, 2024 15:05

A thrilling encounter between India and Belgium ended in disappointment for the Indians as they suffered their first loss of the Paris Olympics.

Belgium, the defending champions, proved their mettle with a dominant display in the final quarter. Despite a valiant effort from India, including a stunning save from Sreejesh to deny a Hendrickx penalty corner, the Belgians managed to find the net through John-John Dhomen.

A late penalty corner for India offered a glimmer of hope, but a heroic defensive effort from Belgium, particularly a goal-line save from van Aubel, denied the Indians an equalizer.

The final nail in the coffin came when India were reduced to ten men due to a yellow card, and Belgium capitalized on their numerical advantage to secure the victory.
