HIL 2024-25: Tamil Nadu Dragons Ride Janssen Hat-trick To Beat Team Gonasika 6-5
Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: A hat-trick by Jip Janssen helped Tamil Nadu Dragons pull off a stunning 6-5 comeback win against Team Gonasika in a goal-fest in the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 clash at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here on Wednesday.
Team Gonasika dominated the initial proceedings and found the opener as early as the fifth minute. Araijeet Singh Hundal was offered a tad too much space at the edge of the circle and he made the most of it by letting one rip off his stick.
David Harte was no match to the strike as Hundal raised his arms in celebration and Gonasika took the lead. Gonasika didn’t have to wait too long to extend their lead as Araijeet struck again in the 10th minute. Timothee Clement made a surging run into the circle and played a lovely aerial pass for Araijeet, who calmly put the ball past Harte.
