FIH Pro League: Indian Women’s Hockey Team Goes Down 1-3 Against The Netherlands
FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian women’s hockey team lost 1-3 against the Netherlands in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium, here on Sunday. The Netherlands’ Yibbi Jansen (3’, 34’) and Fay van der Elst (21’) etched their name on the scoresheet. Navneet Kaur (9‘) scored the only goal for India.
India’s goalkeeper Savita was called to action right from the get-go, saving successive shots at her goal. Soon after, the Netherlands were awarded a penalty corner and this season's leading goalscorer, Yibbi Jansen, powered a shot down the middle of the goal to grant the Netherlands an early lead.
As the Netherlands looked to sit back and absorb the pressure, an Indian counterattack caught them by surprise. Sunelita Toppo ventured down the right wing and found Navneet Kaur at the top of the shooting circle who turned around and unleashed a thunderous strike that brought India back on level terms.
