The final began with both teams probing for chances and it wasn\u2019t long before the Netherlands found an opening. Janneke van de Venne took a long-range shot which deflected off the Indian goalkeeper Rajani Etimarpu and into goal as the Netherlands scored the first goal of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Moments later, Bente van der Veldt found herself open in front of the goal and smashed the ball into the net to double Netherlands\u2019 lead. A period of Netherlands dominance followed. Bente van der Veldt remained alert in front of goal as her quick overhead shot sailed past the Indian defence and into the Indian goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With four minutes to go in the first half, Lana Kalse pounced on a loose ball and unleashed a powerful shot to make it 4-0 in Netherlands\u2019 favour. Soon after, Sosha Benninga used a deft touch to bypass Rajani in goal and further extended their lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the Netherlands continued to pressure the Indian defence, Janneke van de Venne capitalised on an opening and scored to end the first half 6-0 in the Netherlands\u2019 favour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Netherlands\u2019 dominance ensued in the second half, resulting in a challenge which was saved by Rajani. India opened their account 5 minutes into the second half as Jyoti Chhatri found herself in space and rifled in a shot from distance to beat Netherlands\u2019 goalkeeper Kiki Gunneman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the match progressed, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal received the ball under pressure, turned on a sixpence and breached Netherlands\u2019 goal to make it 6-2 and present India with a fighting chance in the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As India started to pile on the pressure, a quick counterattack goal from Netherlands\u2019 Lana Kalse restored their 5-goal cushion in the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India continued to test Netherlands\u2019 goalkeeper Kiki Gunneman but they were unable to beat her. In the final minute of the game, Netherlands were awarded a penalty stroke, however, Rajani battered the shot away and the match ended with a 7-2 scoreline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/hockey5s-womens-world-cup-indian-team-falls-short-in-final-loses-2-7-to-the-netherlands.jpeg", "alt_img": "Hockey5s Women's World Cup: Indian team falls short in final, loses 2-7 to the Netherlands", "alt_title": "Hockey5s Women's World Cup: Indian team falls short in final, loses 2-7 to the Netherlands", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Hockey5s Women's World Cup: Indian Team Falls Short In Final, Loses 2-7 To The Netherlands On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Hockey5s Women's World Cup: Indian Team Falls Short In Final, Loses 2-7 To The Netherlands, FIH Hockey5s Women: The Indian women\u2019s hockey team lost to the Netherlands 2-7 in the final of the FIH Hockey5s.", "seo_keywords": "FIH Hockey5s Women, World Cup, The Indian, Jyoti Chhatri, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal, Lana Kalse, Sosha Benninga, Hockey India, Rajani Etimarpu, Kiki Gunneman, As India", "tag": "", "tagging": "FIH Hockey5s Women, World Cup, The Indian, Jyoti Chhatri, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal, Lana Kalse, Sosha Benninga, Hockey India, Rajani Etimarpu, Kiki Gunneman, As India", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "hockey5s-womens-world-cup-indian-team-falls-short-in-final-loses-2-7-to-the-netherlands", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "766", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-27 23:52:02", "updated": "2024-01-27 23:52:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "FIH Hockey5s Women, World Cup, The Indian, Jyoti Chhatri, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal, Lana Kalse, Sosha Benninga, Hockey India, Rajani Etimarpu, Kiki Gunneman, As India", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-27 23:52:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "hockey", "cnmid": "858011", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/hockey5s-womens-world-cup-indian-team-falls-short-in-final-loses-2-7-to-the-netherlands-12666" }
