India suffered a 4-2 defeat to Belgium in the FIH Men’s Pro League at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium.
Alexander Hendrickx netted twice from penalty corners, while Hugo Labouchere and Arthur de Sloover also scored to give Belgium a 4-0 lead. India responded through Aditya Lalage and skipper Harmanpreet Singh, but the comeback fell short.
Despite a stronger second-half display, India registered their third straight defeat in the Rourkela leg and will next face Argentina in their final match.
