NEW DELHI: Argentina lifted the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup beating India 2-1 with the golden goal at Kuala Lampur on Sunday.
Argentina, who were the clear favourite for the championship, had beaten India comprehensively in their league encounter with 5-1 goal margin.
India failed to continue their winning streak in the all important final, after registering six wins in-a-row in the tournament.
On Saturday, India pulled off a narrow 2-1 win in their last round robin league match against hosts Malaysia to book a berth in the final of the Azlan Shah hockey tournament.
With that win, India gathered 12 points from their six matches and set up a title clash against Argentina, who have finished with 14 points, on Sunday.
India, who lost their first two matches, continued with their impressive turnaround in the tournament to register their fourth consecutive victory and make the Azlan Shah final after a gap of 12 years on Saturday.
