FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian women’s hockey team on Saturday went down 1-3 to Germany in their first match of the London leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24. For India, Deepika (23’) scored the lone goal, while for Germany, Charlotte Stapenhorst (13’), Sonja Zimmermann (24’) and Nike Lorenz (37’) were on target.

India got off to a cautious start, not allowing Germany to make easy forays into their striking circle. The Indian team worked a disciplined structure with short, accurate passes that allowed them to create space in Germany’s circle. But an Indian goal remained elusive in the first quarter.

Just after the halfway mark in the first quarter, the German team started to go through the gears, pushing India back into their half, with a couple of attacks from the right. With two minutes remaining, it was Charlotte Stapenhorst (13’) who gave Germany a 1-0 lead after scoring from a close range. At the end of the first quarter, Germany led India 1-0.
