Tokyo 2020 Olympics Highlights: History scripted in Tokyo by men's hockey team with bronze medal win

PC! Germany are not only two goals down, but also a man down now for at least 5 minutes. A crucial advantage for India. Rupinder's shot has been blocked by first rusher but it was deemed as dangerous play so no PC. India lose referral.

PC! India were unable to trap the ball on inject -- but Sumit found foot of Nicolas Wellen. Another PC!

India get PC! Fifth PC for India! Nilakanta Sharma finds foot of German defender. Rupinder's dragflick has been blocked and India get another PC

Germany come away with possession and they put a lot of bodies in attack. India defending well. Vivek and Gurjant on the money.

Manpreet put the ball inside the circle, Dilpreet nets it in but the whistle had blown up. Lucky escape for Germany. How close was that from a sixth goal.

Make that 5-3! This is incredible stuff by India. A quick, brilliant counter-attacking goal to give the team a two-goal cushion. India are doing to Germany at the start of the second half what the Germans did to India at the start of the game: running them ragged and dominating them inside their D.

GOALLLLLL! Gurjant runs from the right, he dribbles past Germany defence and Simranjeet has struck it in from the front of the goal. Perfect centre-forward finish.

Rupinderpal gets India in the lead for the first time in this game. A penalty stroke early is just the kind of injection the team needed to start the second half. India have now scored three goals in about six minutes to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead. And now, the Germans will have to play catch up.

GOALLLL! Rupinder Pal Singh scores from penalty stroke. No mistake. simple, cool, calm, collected and this might be the most important goal in India's hockey history in a long, long time.

PENALTY STROKE! India have attained a penalty stroke with Mandeep Singh has been tripped inside the circle. Germany have asked for a referral. Windfeder says there was no contact -- the replays are being viewed as of now.

NO REASON TO CHANGE DECISION.

It has been intense 30 minutes of action in Tokyo. Final 30 minutes to go... HERE WE GO!

It's been a brilliant fightback by India after a couple of defensive errors. They've scored two goals to level it up at 3-3, the last one off a PC which should please Graham Reid even more. Germany looked like flying high with that 3-1 lead, but India have brought them down really quickly. If their defence tightens up, this could well be their game. Like with their semifinal against Belgium, the game could slow down in the second half given the conditions, which could also work in India's favour.

That was enthralling 15 minutes. Both teams scoring goals -- two more quarters still left to play.

PC to India! GOALLLL! Harmanpreet Singh scores from the penalty corner. And India have drawn level within two minutes.

PC to India! GOALLL! Harmanpreet's dragflick saved by German goalkeeper. But Hardik Singh has hammered it on the rebound.

GOALLL! Penetrative thrust force, Germnay double-team Surender Kumar. Doddling with ball inside the circle, he loses possession. Furk scores the third.

This is very, very poor by the Indian defence. Two errors in a couple of minutes have given Germany a two-goal lead. It wasn't even a case of the Germans pressing hard and high; just the Indians making some basic errors of easy turnovers, the second one inside their own D.

GOALLLL! Germany counter-attack, Nilakanta makes an ordinary attempt to protect ball in midfield, Ruhrer finds a way to send the ball inside. Wellen scores to put Germany in lead.

Much better defending by India in the 2nd quarter. They are marking their players, they are coming back, tracking them.

That was some counter-attack by India. Began with some clever passing from the midfield and ended with Simranjeet dishing out a speedy reverse flick shot at goal. It was simply too quick for the German goalkeeper. A brilliant start to the second quarter for India. Just what they needed after that first one.

GOALLLLL! Simranjeeet levels the score for India, with a counter attack. Hardik Singh intercepted the ball and passed it to Nilakanta, who took his time but found Simran at the center fo the circle. He turned, and struck a tomahawk shot into the nets.

The start of 2nd quarter -- India need to counter the speed of this Germany team. Can they get a goal back?

Catch your breath! The Germans certainly need to. They have been quick, sharp and on the ball in the first quarter. They've outrun India, and they're outscoring India at the moment. Sreejesh has been a busy man in the first 15 minutes, while India had just one PC to look at, which Rupinderpal missed. India will need to be a lot quicker and smarter from hereon

PC! leads to PC! leads to PC! Dangerous play -- restart of PC! SAVE! Windfeder's shot saved by India. Finally the end of first quarter.

India are trailing after first 15 minutes. But can they bounce back? This Indian team rattled by strong, fast-paced German action. NO - Referral leads to penalty corner at the dying seconds!

Hardik Singh makes save. Germany are on the attack non-stop. India are being slow and are not troubling German's midfield.
