World Cup: India Lose Tight Affair to Co-hosts Spain

RJ22207103686 - World Cup: India Lose Tight Affair to Co-hosts Spain - The Indian women’s hockey team crashed out of the FIH World Cup title race after losing 0-1 to co-hosts Spain in a hard-fought crossover match here on Monday. After a fiercely-contested three quarters, the Indian defence let in a goal just three minutes from the final hooter when Marta Segu scored from a rebound to exit from the knock-out rounds. As has been the case so far in the tournament, India fared poorly once again in converting penalty corners. They earned four in the game against Spain’s three but all the chances went in vain.

World Cup: the Fall of Ireland, From World Cup Silver to a Supporting Role

2022 1388 16420 001 c4 29 - World Cup: the Fall of Ireland, From World Cup Silver to a Supporting Role - Kampong's last defence was there four years ago when they marked the pinnacle of Irish hockey history. And how she was barely passable in the quarter- and semi-finals in the shoot-out series, which Ireland won against India and Spain. In the group, the Irish had already beaten the Indians and also the United States.  

Four years ago, they were the surprise of the World Cup. Then the Irish women left the tournament with a radiant face and a silver medal. In this edition, The Green Army did not survive the first group stage. And that hurts, with goalkeeper Ayeisha McFerran. Kampong’s last defence was there four years ago when […]

World Cup: Match Day Seven

2022 1388 16497 001 c4 01 - World Cup: Match Day Seven - in the first of the cross over matches we saw Germany, who finished second in Pool A, against South Africa, who secured third spot in Pool D, after that dramatic comeback against Japan. The Germans are ranked fourth in the world and have a fully professional programme. Whereas, the South Africans are placed 16th in the world, coming into this match, and are completely amateur. The Germans dominated the first 15 minutes winning several penalty corners. However, they were unable to convert any of them, with Phumelala Mbande in the South African goal made several good saves. In the second quarter Amelie Wortmann looked as though she was going to open the scoring, after she, alongside her team mate, had helped to create a two versus one situation on Mbande. Ultimately it was sent wide of the far post. At the half time break the score remained goalless, with a hard working South African team keeping their opponents at bay. After the break the Central Europeans carried on with their dominance in possession and the winning of penalty corners. However, it took Germany until the 37th minute before they scored, with their captain Nike Lorenz sliding a set piece shot into the corner to Mbande’s right hand side. Germany had many more chances, but were unable to find the back of the net, in no small part due to the work from the South African defensive short corner runners and goalkeeper. The score finished one nil to a Germany who knew that that were in a competitive game from the outset. They will meet New Zealand in the Quarter Finals.
