Match Details
The game unfolded over four quarters.

Throughout the match, there were several penalty opportunities: India had a penalty stroke that did not convert, and both teams had several penalty corners that also failed to produce a goal. India displayed a disorganised defence and lost ball control on several occasions, while Argentina capitalised on opportunities with precision.
The match concluded with India heading to classification matches, while Argentina awaits the result of the Netherlands-England showdown to confirm their place in the semi-finals.
