Misfiring India posed little threat to Spain, who capitalised on counter-attacks to rattle the defence and scored thrice in open play to prevail 3-1 in the bronze medal playoff in the Junior Hockey World Cup at the Bukit Jalil Stadium on Saturday.
Nicolas Alvarez twice beat the goalkeeper with deft flicks from close range in the 25th and 51st minutes and Pau Petchame sounded the board with a firm drive in the 40th minute, while India pulled back one goal through Sunil Jojo’s defection during a 28th minute penalty corner.
