Nico Kistein (4\u2019) opened the scoring by converting a penalty corner, followed swiftly by a field goal from Alec Von Schwerin (5\u2019), giving the hosts a 2-0 lead within the opening quarter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The momentum stayed with Germany in the second quarter as they continued to apply attacking pressure. Hasbach Ben (25\u2019) extended their lead with a field goal, ensuring Germany went into halftime with a commanding 3-0 advantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second half offered little respite for the Indian Colts as the hosts kept control of the match. Paul Babic (39\u2019) added another goal to make it 4-0. Despite trailing, India showed signs of resilience in the fourth quarter with forward Sourabh Anand Kushwaha (50\u2019) netting a field goal to reduce the deficit to 4-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Germany responded immediately, as Hasbach Ben (51\u2019, 54\u2019) struck twice to complete his hat-trick, while Paul Babic (54\u2019) added his second goal of the game to seal a comprehensive 7-1 win for the hosts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will look to bounce back when they take on Australia on 22nd June, followed by a clash against Spain on 24th June in the remaining Pool stage fixtures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Germany responded immediately, as Hasbach Ben (51\u2019, 54\u2019) struck twice to complete his hat-trick, while Paul Babic (54\u2019) added his second goal of the game to seal a comprehensive 7-1 win for the hosts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
