India bounced back strongly from an early deficit to score twice in four minutes and lead 2-1 after Spain took an early lead through Maria Lopez in the 3rd minute on Friday.

However, Lola Riera equalised in the 58th minute through a penalty corner and it looked like the two teams will play out their second consecutive draw.
