The India men's hockey team defeated Spain 3-0 in their third Group A game in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics at the Oi Hockey Stadium South Pitch on Tuesday. This result comes two days after the team was subjected to a 1-7 thrashing at the hands of Australia on Sunday. In the first quarter, India took the lead as Simranjeet Singh scored the goal and the early nerves for the Manpreet Singh-led side eased a bit. However, Spain was looking good while making attacking moves, and India had a tough task in holding them off. Before the match against Spain, India had defeated New Zealand but lost to Australia.
