Captain Harmanpreet Singh scored a crucial last-gasp penalty corner to force a shoot-out, but India ultimately finished eighth at the FIH World Cup following a 3-4 loss to co-hosts Belgium on Friday.

World No. 2 Belgium held a 3-2 lead until the closing moments before India won a penalty corner with only 26 seconds left on the clock. Harmanpreet cleanly converted the opportunity for his eighth goal of the tournament, locking the score at 3-3 at the end of regulation time.
