Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: Electric India Outplay New Zealand 3-1; Japan Hold Germany; USA, Chile Win On Frantic Second Day (Roundup)
Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: Error-prone and ineffective on the opening day, the Indian women's hockey team came up with a mesmerising response as it outplayed New Zealand on a hectic and sensational second day at the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers which saw Japan holding World No.5 Germany to 1-1 draw at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium here on Sunday.
Chile started Super Sunday with a 6-0 thrashing of the Czech Republic which kept alive their hopes of reaching the semifinals while the United States remained the only team with a perfect record as they defeated Italy 2-0 to move up to six points from two wins.
India, who had suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to the United States on Saturday, set a lightning pace and fanatically high tempo in the first quarter, scoring three goals that took the wind off the New Zealand sails. Sangita Kumari scored the opening goal for India in the 40th second, launching a swift attack after the pushback to take the lead even before the Black Sticks had settled into their positions.
