Earlier in the contest, goals from Navneet (50') and Deepika (60') helped India come back from a two-goal deficit after Agustina Gorzelany’s (27', 37') brace had given Argentina a comfortable lead on Wednesday.
Neither of the experienced sides managed to test the goalkeepers in the opening quarter. Argentina’s high press restricted the Indian attack, but India found space through quick stick work and sharp passing, frequently looking to fire the ball into the circle.
