India was at its best today facing pakistan in hockey world cup opener match.Earlier today Spain beat South Africa 4-2 ,another match between Australia & England was a close encounter with latter beating the former 3-2.From the Indian team it was shivendra to start with , sandeep singh scored two goals & prabjot singh with one goal.India beat pakistan by 4-1 convincingly.It was aggression & attacking game from the Indian team.India got 7 penalty corners out of which 2 were converted.Sensing the pressure and stake associated with the high-profile encounter, India applied pressure on their next door neighbours from the onset and used both the flanks effectively.
India's domination can be gauged from the fact that they thoroughly outrolled the mid-field with Pakistan hardly making inroads into their rival's goal in the first half.While sohail abbas was the lone player to have scored the goal for his team.This was india's first win against pakistan in the last four encounters.
