The Indian women's hockey team lost in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics but not before putting up a brave fight against Argentina. India scored an early goal against Argentina in the opening quarter just like they did in the quarterfinal triumph vs Australia, 

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.
