  • India went down 3-4 on June 11 and 1-2 on June 12 to Argentina in Amstelveen, extending their losing streak to four matches in the European leg of the Pro League.
  • Repeated defensive lapses saw Argentina score within moments of restarts and convert a combined eight penalty corners, exposing India’s vulnerability at the back.
  • Captain Harmanpreet Singh netted a brace in the 3-4 loss but was sidelined by a finger injury for the second match, weakening India’s drag-flick threat.
  • Jugraj Singh’s late penalty stroke equaliser was overturned on video review and then saved on the retake, sealing India’s 1-2 defeat in the rematch.
  • India sit fourth in the league standings with World Cup qualification hopes under pressure, prompting Fulton to demand improved backline discipline.
