VIDEO | India's bronze medal-winning moment - PR Sreejesh makes stunning save in last few seconds in Tokyo
India goalkeeper PR Sreejesh pulled off a stunning save in the final few seconds of the bronze medal match against Germany at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday. The fast-paced, thrilling affair between the two teams went right down to the wire, with India conceding a penalty corner with just over 6 seconds left on the clock in the final quarter of the match.
India were leading 5-4 in the match, and if Germany had scored the goal, the match would have been pushed to the shootouts. But Sreejesh denied Germany's Lukas Windfeder as India celebrated the bronze medal win in Tokyo.
