    Performance by France and India

    The match started with tough competition between the two, however, India was a little bit dominant as they showed aggression in the game and gave the France defence a tough time. Araijeet Singh won an early penalty corner, however, the French goalkeeper gave a brilliant save from the drag flick from vice-captain Sanjay.

    Indian goalkeeper Pawan gave some early penalty corner saves, however, couldn’t save the back to back goals scored by Clement. India created a lot of chances, however, most of them didn’t become fruitful. With this match, India finished fourth in the tournament, and France can win a medal, the least being bronze. However, they will look forward to emerging victoriously in the 2021 Men’s Junior Hockey World Cup final defeating their opponent.
