India Hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh is in prime form in the Paris Olympics 2024. He saved India in the last match against Argentina from the jaws of defeat and now continues his good form with twin goals to give a magnificent victory for his team against Ireland. Ireland conceded a penalty, and the Indian skipper grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he scored, putting India 1-0 up. Harmanpreet then scored another goal to give a sufficient lead of 2-0 for India. India’s defenders also put up a spirited show as Ireland failed to breach the Indian defense.

In the previous match against Argentina, India managed to draw the match 1-1 as Harmanpreet scored a goal in the last few minutes to help India remain undefeated in this Paris Olympics 2024. Argentine player Lucas Martinez scored the opening goal in the 22nd minute. Argentina played like a well-balanced team, but Harmanpreet Singh’s brilliance denied them the victory.

India’s defender Jarmanpreet Singh said, “We should not have conceded that many PCs in the second half. We have to work on that. But at the same time, we did not concede a goal, and that tells about our PC defense. But yes, we can’t afford so many PCs.” Sukhjeet Singh admitted their mistake in the second half, stating, “We could not control the ball in the third quarter, and they made full use of that. They are a good team; we expected a comeback. Yet, we did better in the final quarter.”​
