A well-organised Argentina defeated six-time champion Germany 4-2 and won the title after a 16-year gap in the men’s Junior hockey World Cup at the Kalinga Stadium here on Sunday.
As Cyclone Jawad weakened, the Argentines — who overcame COVID-related curbs and other issues back home — rode on penalty corner specialist Lautaro Domene’s hat-trick to seal victory in a well-contested final.
Coached by Olympic gold medallist Lucas Rey, Argentina smartly controlled the game. It relied on sound basics, strong structure and timely tackles to nip most of the German moves in the bud.
