World champions Australia secured their semi-final spot after wrestling down World Cup Bronze medallists Argentina 4-2 (1-1) in Thursday’s second quarter-final at the Hero Hockey Champions Trophy in Bhubaneswar.

Simon Orchard gave Australia a fifth minute lead when he got a stick to Russell Ford’s hard right-wing cross, the ball just evading the clutches of Manuel Vivaldi. Argentina equalised when Lucas Vila made a lovely run, ghosting around a few tackles before pulling the ball back. Facundo Callioni quickly flipped it to Matias Paredes to volley home a great goal a minute into the second quarter.
