ROURKELA: Local man Amit Rohidas‘s penalty-corner strike made the cuisine delectable for 20,000 plus fans at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium on Friday. Odisha came out in full force to pack the new stadium and made its historic date with international hockey a memorable one. India won 2-0.
India dominated the game, but it will be only fair to add that the scoreline could have been a lot more dominating had India’s circle penetrations and relentless pressure turned into goals, some of which were agonizingly close.
