Hiroshima, Jun 16 (UNI) The Indian Women’s Hockey team capped off a dominant display with a 5-0 victory over Poland at the FIH Women's Series Finals Hiroshima 2019.
Right from the outset, India were on the attack, their left side causing problems for Poland's defence with regularity. Poland were enjoying the lion's share of possession, but India were causing more problems with their speed in attack. The best chance to open the scoring fell for India in the final seconds of the quarter.
Monika and Rani capitalised on some slack Polish defending to link up on the left wing. The latter's cross was deftly touched on by Navneet Kaur lurking in the D towards Neha Goyal stationed at Poland's goalmouth. Her deflection was deftly saved by Gabara in Poland's goal. The teams went into the break goalless.
