Hot controversy in Olympic hockey. The Indian team defeated Great Britain and made it to the semifinals. Harmanpreet Singh will play against Germany in Tuesday’s final. But before that, the Indian camp was furious with Amit Ruidas being shown a red card. In the match against Britain, the card was shown to the pillars of the Indian team’s defense. That is why Amit will not be able to play in the Germany match.
In the last match, it was seen that Ruidas was given a red card by TV umpire Benjamin Guentzen. The incident happened during the second quarter of the match. TV replays showed Ruidas’ stick hitting the opposing star in the head during a battle for possession. Although the field umpire did not show the card first, the TV umpire told him about it. At that time the field umpire showed the red card. The Indian camp has complained to the International Olympic Committee about the incident. They demanded an investigation.
Also, the Great Britain goalkeeper used the video tab during the tiebreaker. It was seen that Britain’s goalkeeper was watching it before the tiebreaker shot. The coach of that team was instructing him again from behind the goal post. 60 minutes of the match ended 1-1. Harmanpreet, Sukhjit Singh, Lalit Upadhyay, and Rajkumar Pal scored for India in the shootout. James Albury and Jack Walls scored for Britain. Conor Williamson and Philip Roper failed. The Indian team played there.
