IND vs ARG, Olympics 2024: Harmanpreet Singh scores late equaliser as India draws with Argentina in men’s hockey at 2024 Paris Olympics.
India skipper Harmanpreet Singh once again came to his side's rescue, scoring a late equaliser to salvage a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Argentina in their second men's hockey pool match at the Paris Olympics in Paris on July 29.
Lucas Martinez gave Argentina the lead in the 22nd minute before Harmanpreet converted India's 10th and last penalty corner to pick up a crucial point from the game.
The Indians had defeated New Zealand in their Pool B opener on Saturday.

The match, which also had former Indian cricket captain and head coach Rahul Dravid in the stands, started on a slow pace before picking up the momentum.
The Indians were let in by a below-par performance from the midfield as the likes of vice-captain Hardik Singh and Manpreet Singh were nowhere to be seen.
