Champions Trophy 2018: India beat Pak 4-0 in opening game

India blanked arch-rivals Pakistan 4-0 to open its campaign on a rousing note in the final edition of the Champions Trophy Hockey Tournament, in the Netherlands.

India scored four field goals with comeback man Ramandeep Singh opening the account in the 26th minute. Young Dilpreet Singh (54th), Mandeep Singh (57th) and Lalit Upadhyay (60th) also scored a goal apiece.

While the Indian strikers were on target, the defenders also produced a superlative show to keeping Pakistan forward line at bay. India, eyeing its maiden Champions Trophy title, will play reigning Olympic champions Argentina in their next round-robin league match tomorrow.
