File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: Prior to Rio Olympics Indian hockey team suffered a big defeat to Spain in a friendly match organised as a practice for the Olympics. This defeat will lower the team psychologically as they lost to a team which is lower to them in world ranking. Yesterday India had their first practice match at Spain against the host team. They lost the match by 4-1. Not only the score line, the whole match was disappointing for Indian players. The host team had control over the match throughout the whole match. They scored two goals at the third quarter which finished all hopes of India in the match. The lone scorer of India was Rupinder Pal Singh. India has their next and last practice match tonight. After that they will fly to Rio. Before heading to Rio tonight the Indian squad will definitely go for a win. Otherwise before heading to Rio the team will be in a depressed mood.
