IND vs IRE, Paris Olympics 2024:  India tasted their second win in the pool-stage of the men's hockey competition in the Paris Olympics 2024 when they beat Ireland 2-0.

Harmanpreet Singh & Co. were in no mood to give an inch away to the opposition and it was the captain leading from the front as he not only scored through a penalty stroke to put India 1-0 ahead but then produced a picture perfect drag flick off a penalty corner to double the lead in the second quarter.

India's Sloppy Performance In The Second Half

On an extremely hot day in Paris, India's performance seemed to dip in the second half, conceding a plethora of penalty corners, 10 overall in the match, but were lucky to not concede a single goal. Their penalty corner defence was spot on led by goalkeeeper PR Sreejesh and defender Amit Rohitdas but with sterner tests ahead, with matches against teams like Belgium and Australia coming ahead of them.
