Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: Soon after he walked off the turf after his team was held 1-1 by Japan in a Pool A match, Germany head coach Valentin Alterburg said his team would have to learn how to get the better of teams that pack the defence as they are going to face more such opponents in subsequent matches in the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers here.

However, having learnt their lessons from that match, Germany on Tuesday came up with a better plan to thrash the Czech Republic 10-0 at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium here on Tuesday. This is the biggest win by any team in this event, improving on Chile's 6-0 win on Sunday. It is also the biggest-ever win at the Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium.

The script initially looked following Germany's previous clash in which the 2018 Asian Games gold medallist Japan had put all their players behind the ball in the first half, defending stoutly to thwart them. Jude Menezes' side went on the attack after Germany had scored a goal and not only levelled the score but also dominated the rest of the match, nearly scoring a winner.
