Bhubaneswar: Rain spoiled India's party as they struggled in heavy pitch conditions to lose 0-1 to Olympic champions Argentina and crash out of title race in the Hockey World League (HWL) Final here on Friday.

Argentina utilised the only penalty corner that came their way to perfection in the first semi-final of the eight- nation tournament at the Kalinga Stadium.
