Live India vs Great Britain Men’s Hockey Quarter-final Score And Updates Tokyo Olympics (IND 2-0 GBR 3rd Quarter)

Tokyo: Hello and welcome to our hockey coverage of INDIA (IND) vs Great Britain (GBR), Live Score and Updates Tokyo Olympics Men’s Quarter-final Hockey Match Live from the Oi Stadium, North Pitch in Tokyo. Gurjant Singh extended India’s lead by scoring the second goal for the Men in Blue. India have looked the dominant side in the first half even though Great Britain have held much of the possession. The defence has done their job as well for the Indians and so far they have looked the better side in the first half. India 2-0 at half-time. Earlier, India started off the quarter-final against Great Britain in fine fashion by taking the early lead. Dilpreet Singh kept his calm and took the only opportunity he got by scoring for the Men in Blue. At the end of the first quarter, India lead 1-0 vs Great Britain. The Manpreet Singh-led Indian men’s hockey team will aim to get past Great Britain in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games on Sunday and secure a last-four berth, which has eluded them since the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games where the team led by V. Baskaran had won the eighth gold medal for the country.

Great Britain qualified for the quarterfinals on the back of two wins, two draws and a loss in their Pool B encounters. Barring the disappointment against Australia (1-7) in their second game in Pool A, India did well to finish second in their group with wins against New Zealand (3-2), Spain (3-0), Argentina (3-1) and Japan (5-3). India will need to carry forward the momentum from these wins into the quarterfinals.

      Last time India played hockey semifinals

      India last played Hockey semifinals in 1972 which they lost against Pakistan. India won gold medal in 1980 Moscow Olympics– but in that year, there were only six teams participating with 9 of the original 12 teams participating pulling out due to protests against USSR. Hence, the semifinals stage did not happen that year, and it was a straight final between India and Spain after Round Robin stage.
