India at Tokyo Olympics: Indian Women’s Hockey team defeat Ireland 1-0, stays in hunt for Q/F

Xtra Time Web Desk: The Indian women’s hockey team registered their first victory at the Tokyo Olympics after defeating Ireland 1-0 at the Oi Hockey Stadium on Friday. The Indian team created a flurry of chances throughout the match before Navneet Kaur (57′) converted an opportunity in the last few minutes of the match to keep India’s Quarter-Finals hopes alive. 

India will now need to win their final Pool A match against South Africa on Saturday and hope for Ireland to face defeat at the hands of Great Britain to seal their quarterfinal berth.

The top four teams from each pool qualify for the knockout stage.
