Dusseldorf: Indian men's hockey team came from a goal down to settle for a 2-2 draw against Germany in a high-voltage match of the three-nation invitational tournament, here on Saturday.
Niklas Wellen (13th minute) gave Germany the lead before Mandeep Singh (45th) and talismanic Sardar Singh (45th) struck the board in quick time to hand India the lead.
But experienced Tobias Hauke came to the home team's rescue and scored the equaliser in the 52nd minute. With both India and Germany losing their first match against Belgium, there was no doubt that this was going to be a closely contested match and neither teams disappointed.
Both India and Germany raced out of their blocks at a frenetic pace, attacking each other constantly from the word go. Indian goalkeeper Vikas Dahiya was kept busy by the mighty Germans in the first quarter.
