The 2nd quarter saw Argentina fight back as they equalised almost immediately. India failed to push the 2-time Olympic Silver medalists in the match as Argentina clawed their way back to the driver's seat. 

The 3rd and 4th quarters saw India fight back but failed to score as Argentina controlled the proceedings as the match ended in heartbreak for India. Argentina won 2-1 to enter the final of the Tokyo Olympics as India will now play Great Britain in the bronze medal game on Friday.
