India earn silver in men’s hockey after 0-7 loss to Australia in final

India earn silver in men’s hockey after 0-7 loss to Australia in final

 


The Indian men’s hockey team suffered an embarrassing 0-7 drubbing at the hands of defending champions Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Monday.

Australia blew India away with their whirlwind speed and relentless attacks, extending their dominance of the CWG stage. Since the introduction of hockey at the Games in 1998, Australia has always been at the top of the podium.

This is India’s third loss to Australia in a CWG final, having lost in the 2010 and 2014 editions of the Games.

Nathan Ephraums and Tom Wickham each scored a brace, while Blake Govers, Jacob Anderson and Flynn Ogilvie also found the net in the lopsided game. Australia pumped in five goals in the first half to take the game away from India.

The other time India suffered such a heavy defeat in CWG was in the 2010 edition in New Delhi, where Australia beat the hosts 8-0.

India’s struggle was so great that the team was unable to secure a single penalty corner. Australia delivered three penalty corners within the first 10 minutes and broke the deadlock of the third through Govers, whose flick went between the legs of Indian keeper PR Sreejesh.

A minute before the first quarter, Ephramus scored from a counterattack down the right wing. Goals rained down for Australia and Anderson made it 3-0 in the 22nd minute, scoring from a rebound and tapping in from close range after Sreejesh made the first save.

India’s only shot on goal came in the 24th minute, but Akashdeep Singh’s reverse goal was saved by Australian goalkeeper Andrew Charter.

Australia added two more goals in the space of two minutes before half time via Wickham (26th), who got rid of Tim Brand’s pass, and Anderson (27th) to take full control of the game at half time.

An injury to Manpreet Singh after colliding with an Australian player in the second quarter made things more difficult for the Indians as the skipper did not take the field in the last two quarters.

In the 42nd minute, Ephramus scored his second goal with a neat deflection before Ogilvie added another four minutes later. Six minutes later, Australia scored again, but the goal was disallowed after India went for the referral.
