FIH Hockey Pro League: Indian Women’s Hockey Team Goes Down 0-1 Against Netherlands
FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian Women’s Hockey Team lost their second match of the Rourkela leg in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 against the Netherlands 0-1. Felice Albers (27’ minute) scored the match's sole goal to win the encounter for the Netherlands.
The first quarter began with both teams playing aggressively. Netherlands' first penalty corner came as early as the 2nd minute. However, Yibbi Jansen’s drag flick went wide. India’s strong and determined defence restricted the Netherlands which consistently burst forward in pursuit of a goal. In the 14th minute, the Netherlands threatened again with their best chance of the match during a penalty corner, but an acrobatic save from India’s Captain and goalkeeper, Savita, ensured a goalless first quarter.
India remained resilient in the second quarter, fending off numerous offensive waves from the Netherlands. Though India showed promise in the midfield, they struggled to penetrate the Dutch circle frequently.
