India vs Spain Hockey World Cup 2022: The Indian women's hockey team lost their must-win crossover match against hosts Spain by 0-1 at the FIH Hockey Women's World Cup 2022 on July 10, 2022. This means that Spain has qualified for the quarterfinals and India has been knocked out of the Hockey World Cup 2022.
Spain's Marta Segu scored in the final few minutes to give her team an upper edge, giving India just two minutes to score a goal to take the match to a penalty shoot out. Though Spain was down to nine players after Begoña Garcia was given a yellow card and Marta Segu got a green card, India failed to capitalise on the situation and let the match slip.
Spain will now meet Australia in the quarterfinals on July 13, while India still has one match to go against Canada on July 12th to decide the final rankings. Savita Punia-led Indian team was struggling since the beginning of the Hockey World Cup 2022, failing to register a single win having drawn two matches and lost one. India though put up a strong defence in the match against Spain.
