#4. India 3 – Germany 1, 2004
On 7 December 2004, India overcame a strong German side with the help of goals from Sundeep Michael, Arjun Halappa and Vivek Gupta. Although Jan-Marco Montag put the German team in the lead with a 20th-minute strike, India attacked well to overturn the deficit and add to more goals to it by the time the whistle ended the game.
Germany has been India’s chief tormentor in the tournament apart from Pakistan. Although India would go on to lose to Pakistan to finish fourth, this victory remains important as it was India’s second consecutive victory over the Germans in two editions of the tournament. They had defeated Germany 3-2 in 2003 too.
