Full house, roaring crowd and pacey show-off was the major ingredients of the match between Spain and India. After losing to Australia; it was also a do or die situation for India.
India got two close chances within 10 minutes of the match; but Spanish defenders negated the efforts of Indian team with authority. In ninth minute Spanish forward also got open chance with only goal keeper to defeat; but the hit gone outside the right pole.
In 10th minute Spain got a penalty corner; but they couldn't convert it into goal. In first 15 minutes match was evenly poised and both team were attacking and defending effectively. Spanish defence was more active than their attack; but Indian forwards created many goal-less chances. At about the half way of first half, Indian goal keeper showed his class by stopping a real chance of Spanish player. It was his second save from Indian goal keeper
In 19th minute Spanish forward Alberta Sala got a brilliant pass on the top-of-the-D and he made no mistake to smash the ball into the nets defeating Indian goal keeper. In 22nd minute Indian defender checked the stick of Spanish player that was penalized with penalty corner but the chance was Spanish players. In the counter attack India also earned a penalty corner and brilliant stop by Spanish goal keeper saved a certain goal. Indian forward Sardar tried on the rebound but ball was sent over the pole by goal keeper again. Indian forwards missed another certain chance in 27th minute. Again a brillinat save from Indian goal keeper in the 29th minute stopped Spain to double the lead. But in the process Spain got a penalty corner; again a wasted one for Spain.
In the final five minutes of the first half; Spain was trying to slow down the pace of the match with long shots all around the ground but Indian team was exerting full pressure on the Spanish defence to set an equalizer before the half time. In the process they missed another clean chance by the nice efforts of Spanish defender.
In the last few seconds Spanish forward Pol Amat succeeded to double the lead for Spain on the brilliant pass from A. Fabrigas. The final scoreline was 2-0 at the half time.
