Argentina Annihilate France Via Shootout To Surge Into Summit Clash

Argentina scripted a narrow win over France in the first semifinal to make it to the final of the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's Junior World Cup at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Friday.

The high-voltage match went down the wire, but finished goal-less in the stipulated time. In the ensuing shootout, while Argentina could convert three of their five chances, France found the target only once. Argentina goalkeeper Facundo Zarate stood like a rock behind the goal post to thwart the opposition attack.
