HIL 2024-25: Kalinga Lancers Tame Bengal Tigers For First Win
The Vedanta Kalinga Lancers: The Vedanta Kalinga Lancers secured their first win of Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 as they hammered the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers 6-0 at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here on Tuesday. Thierry Brinkman (3` and 47`), Sanjay (6`), Alexander Hendrickx (9`), Nicolas Bandurak (29`) and Boby Singh Dhami (49`) scored for the Kalinga Lancers.
It was a match between two sides at the opposite ends of the points table with the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers at the top having won all three of their matches before on Tuesday. The Vedanta Kalinga Lancers, on the other hand, have lost two and drawn one of their three matches. That was to change by the end of the match as the Kalinga Lancers finally got their campaign up and running.
The Lancers got off to a lightning-quick start as they took a 2-0 lead inside the first four minutes. Thierry Brinkman was key to the home side’s perfect start as he scored the opener and won a penalty corner from which the second goal came.
