Bhubaneshwar, Nov 6 (Ians) Goalkeeper Kishan Bahadur Pathak came to the rescue as a below-par India ended the first mini-tournament which started the fourth season of the Fih Pro League on a winning note, prevailing 3-1 via shootout after a 2-2 draw against European stalwarts Spain at the Kalinga Stadium here on Sunday.
Having won twice against New Zealand, the third team in this cluster of matches, but losing 2-3 to the Redsticks on October 30, India went into the match with revenge on their mind. But were lucky to escape with a 2-2 draw in the game of two halves in which Spain missed at least six-seven good scoring opportunities. Pathak himself pulled off five good saves.
