Raipur: Inconsistency continued to haunt India as they conceded an early goal to lose 0-1 to Belgium and crash out of the title race of the Hockey World League Final here on Saturday.India conceded a soft goal in the fifth minute of the second semifinal encounter when Cedric Charlier scored from a field strike for Belgium, which eventually separated both the teams at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel stadium.
Belgium now take on Australia in the summit clash on Sunday while India play the Netherlands for the bronze medal.
The Indians were slow to get off the blocks as they hardly troubled the Belgian defence in the first two quarters. But the hosts came out with more purpose after the change of ends to create numerous scoring opportunities but their forwardline failed to finish off the moves.
