Lautaro Domene struck a hat-trick as a determined Argentina stunned six-time champions Germany 4-2 to clinch their second FIH Junior Men's Hockey World Cup title at the Kalinga Stadium here on Sunday.

Domene converted three penalty corners in the 10th, 25th and 50th minute, while Franco Agoistini (60th) scored a field goal just seconds from the final hooter to hand Argentina their second title.

Julius Hayner (36th) and Mas Pfandt (47th) were the goal getters for Germany.

Argentina had earlier won the title way back in 2005 in Rotterdam where they defeated Australia 2-1.

The Argentines were by far the better side on display in the first quarter as they dominated the game by pressing hard on the German defence.

As has been their game, the Germans sat back and waited for counterattacks.

But Germany's ploy backfired as Argentina took the lead in the 10th minute through Domene from a penalty corner.

Argentina doubled their lead in the 25th minute when Domene once again found the back of the net from a penalty corner to go into half time leading 2-0.

But the Germans came out a completely different side after the change of ends and and managed to reduce the margin in the 36th minute through a field strike by Hayner.

Trailing by a goal and with just 15 minutes remaining, the Germans continued to attack and drew level in 47th minute when Pfandt scored from a set piece.

But it was not to be Germany's day as Domene struck again from a set piece in the 50th minute before Agostini scored from a field effort just at the stroke of the final hooter to shatter Germany's seventh title hopes.

Earlier in the day, defending champions India lost 1-3 to France to finish fourth in the competition.&nbsp;

The hosts started the match very passively as Germany dominated possession but nothing really came out of it.

In the dying minutes of the first quarter, the European team drew the first blood as Erik Kleinlein tapped in the dead ball inside the net from a rebound on the penalty corner. With five seconds left, India also got a penalty corner but Sanjay stormed his drag-flick wide.

In the second quarter, flood-gates to goal opened as Germany double their lead after a shot from Phillip Holzmueller took a deflection and lobbed over India goalkeeper Pawan. Soon, the German captain, Hannes Muller rifled a tomahawk back into the net as the situation for hosts went from bad to worse.

However, India then stopped the one-way German traffic after Uttam Singh deflected a shot into the back of the German net. But the European team again profited from the big pockets in India's defence as they earned a penalty stroke after the PC was blocked by hosts'&nbsp;defender feet. Christopher Kutter made no mistake from the spot as Germany regained their three-goal lead.

In the second half, Germany started on the front foot and with the momentum on their side. The nerves did play their part for India as Manjeet missed a chance to get the decisive touch in the front of the German goal in the third quarter.

After goal-less Q3, Germany ensured to push down any resistance from hosts. The consolation goal for India came from Dhami who rifled past German GK to cut the deficit in half.
