    Women's FIH Pro League: Germany Cruise To 4-0 Win Over India

    FIH Hockey Pro League: Germany clinched their first win of the season as they stormed to a 4-0 win against India in a women's section clash of FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 at the Kalinga Stadium here on Friday. Sophia Schwabe (18’, 46’) struck a stunning brace, and goals from Amelie Wortmann (3’) and Johanna Hachenberg (60’) saw the Germans climb up to the seventh spot on the standings.

    Germany, led by former India coach Janneke Schopman, began the game well and seized the lead as early as the third minute. Aina Kresken drilled a low cross from the right and Amelie Wortmann found herself unmarked in the back post to slot it home. The Indian defence was put under relentless pressure thereon as Germany carved out multiple attacks and won several penalty corners.

    However, goalkeeper Savita Punia was in excellent form between the sticks as the Indian defence weathered the storm. India created a good chance in the ninth minute when Deepika executed a superb tomahawk pass, but Mumtaz Khan couldn’t reach it in time. The hosts had another great opportunity to level the scores in the 15th minute when they had a 2v1 chance against the German goalkeeper but failed to convert.
