Women's FIH Pro League: India Take Revenge, Clinch 1-0 Victory Over Germany
FIH Hockey Pro League: It was redemption for the Indian women’s hockey team as it exacted revenge for its defeat in the first match with a 1-0 win against Germany in the ongoing women's FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 match at the Kalinga Stadium here on Saturday. Deepika (12’) was the sole goal scorer, ensuring India climbed to the seventh spot on the points table.
India started the first quarter with a disciplined defensive setup and a proactive high press, matching Germany’s early dominance in possession with attacking intent. In the 12th minute, the hosts won a penalty corner, their best opportunity of the period. Deepika made no mistake, driving her shot into the back of the net with precision to give India the lead. Moments later, Vaishnavi Phalke nearly set up Sunelita Toppo for a deft deflection, but the effort fell short.
The second quarter saw end-to-end action, with the Indians eager to build on their advantage. Germany found themselves pinned in their half for the first five minutes, with German forward Sophia Schwabe closely marked by the defense.
