Team India outclassed Spain 2-1 in the bronze medal match of men's hockey at the Paris Olympics on Thursday. 

India captain Harmanpreet Singh equalized seconds before the half-time hooter after Spain drew first blood from a spot-kick by Marc Miralles. 

Leading India from the front, Harmanpreet doubled his tally with a sensational brace in the third quarter. 

In his final international outing, veteran PR Sreejesh made a stunning save in the final quarter to seal India's 2-1 win over Spain.

After a narrow 3-2 loss to Germany in the semifinals, Team India's focus had shifted to securing a second consecutive bronze medal following their podium finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The team, led by Harmanpreet Singh, rebounded quickly from the disappointment of missing out on the gold medal match by winning the bronze medal at the Paris Games.

Meanwhile, it is going to be PR Sreejesh's final match in international hockey, and he would look to bid adieu with a medal. Sreejesh has been a rock-solid wall for India in front of goals this Olympics and has displayed some incredible performances to rescue India on a few occasions in Paris.

Sreejesh made an emotional post on social media on Thursday before the match, expressing thankfulness to the hockey fraternity of India and the world. He received a standing ovation from the stands and his teammates after the match on Thursday.
