A barrage of attacks by India in the first quarter, including a shot from Abhishek hitting the crossbar on the Argentine post, suggested a goal was around the corner for the Tokyo bronze medallist. But until the 59th minute, it was the 2016 Olympic champions who held onto their 1-0 lead in the Pool B match of the Paris Olympics.
A soft error by PR Sreejesh on a miscued hit by Lucas Martinez saw the tenacious Argentina taking the lead in the 22nd minute, and they hung onto it deep into the fourth quarter.
