In a dominating display Germany\u2019s Christian Franz (16\u2019), Nikas Berendts (29\u2019, 45\u2019), Peer Hinrichs (43\u2019,48\u2019) and Sperling Florian (49\u2019) found the back of the net while Amandeep Lakra (35\u2019), Uttam Singh (58\u2019) and Rohit (60\u2019) scored for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Defending champions India started on the front foot, threatening Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji\u2019s goal on a couple of occasions in the opening minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Germany registered the game\u2019s first shot on target as Ben Hasbach\u2019s snapshot was deflected out by India\u2019s goalkeeper Mohith H.S.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A period of German dominance followed as they pinned India in their own half in search of the opening goal and it was Germany\u2019s captain Matteo Poljaric who looked to test Mohith H.S, whose vigilance ensured the first quarter ended goalless.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Germany\u2019s Christian Franz scored in the very first minute of the second quarter, flashing a shot past Mohith H.S. after a string of passes in the circle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian Colts seldom found opportunities to test Joshua in goal as Germany continued to pile on the pressure the rest of the quarter. And as the first half was winding up, it was Nikas Berendts\u2018s flick from a penalty corner that breached India\u2019s goal for the second time in the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India found their footing in the third quarter, forcing a series of penalty corners and it was Amandeep Lakra\u2019s flick at goal that found the back of the net and reduced India\u2019s deficit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But the respite was short-lived as Peer Hinrichs netted the ball in after a goal-mouth melee to extend Germany\u2019s lead. This was quickly followed by another goal by Nikas Berendts towards the end of the quarter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The German onslaught continued in the last quarter with Peer Hinrichs doubling his goal tally after a thunderous flick from a penalty corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Soon after, Sperling Florian chipped the ball over Mohith H.S. from close range to make it 6-1 in Germany\u2019s favour. As the intensity of the game dropped Uttam Singh deflected a long cross to score India\u2019s second goal, while Rohit scored from a penalty corner in the very last minute of the game. However, despite India\u2019s valiant efforts went in vain as they lost the match 3-6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India will face the losers of the match between Australia and Pakistan on November 4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sultan-of-johor-cup-indian-juniors-lose-to-germany-6-3-in-semifinals.jpg", "alt_img": "Sultan of Johor Cup: Indian juniors lose to Germany 6-3 in semifinals", "alt_title": "Sultan of Johor Cup: Indian juniors lose to Germany 6-3 in semifinals", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Sultan Of Johor Cup: Indian Juniors Lose To Germany 6-3 In Semifinals On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Sultan Of Johor Cup: Indian Juniors Lose To Germany 6-3 In Semifinals, Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji: The Indian junior men's hockey team lost to world No.2 ranked Germany 6-3 in the semifinals of.", "seo_keywords": "Johor Cup, Johor Bahru, Hockey India, The Indian, Christian Franz, Nikas Berendts, Peer Hinrichs, Sperling Florian, Amandeep Lakra, Uttam Singh, Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji, Ben Hasbach, Matteo Poljaric, The Indian Colts, The German", "tag": "", "tagging": "Johor Cup, Johor Bahru, Hockey India, The Indian, Christian Franz, Nikas Berendts, Peer Hinrichs, Sperling Florian, Amandeep Lakra, Uttam Singh, Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji, Ben Hasbach, Matteo Poljaric, The Indian Colts, The German", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "sultan-of-johor-cup-indian-juniors-lose-to-germany-6-3-in-semifinals", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "609", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-11-03 23:12:03", "updated": "2023-11-03 23:12:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Johor Cup, Johor Bahru, Hockey India, The Indian, Christian Franz, Nikas Berendts, Peer Hinrichs, Sperling Florian, Amandeep Lakra, Uttam Singh, Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji, Ben Hasbach, Matteo Poljaric, The Indian Colts, The German", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-03 23:12:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "hockey", "cnmid": "817909", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/sultan-of-johor-cup-indian-juniors-lose-to-germany-6-3-in-semifinals-10092" }
