Netherlands bt Ireland 5-0
Frankly we messed up big way and missed opportunity of scoring outright win over Kiwis men ... So with this draw we r facing formidable Aussies in the quarters after finishing 3rd in the pool ... In this match both teams started with attacking hockey ... We earned 1st penalty corner in 3rd minute which Raghu missed but Black-sticks opened account through Child in 6th minute ... Despite dominating Kiwis failed to increase lead and first-half ended in their favor, 1-0 ... In the second half we started with attacking hockey and Mandeep equalized within 11 minutes and on next minute we take a lead after converting 2nd penalty corner through Raghu taking excellent in-direct drill where Sandeep Singh acted as dummy ... But after 4 minutes Jenness scored excellent diving deflection for equalizing the score, 2-all ... Again inside 2 minutes Kothajit take advantage in-front of Kiwis goal and again gave lead to India ... After that we missed many chances in-front of goal after failing interception of the crosses ... Then Rupinderpal made stupid mistake inside D and gave penalty stroke but Couzins missed hitting cross-bar ... Here advantage was to Kiwis as they were attacking Indian goal post one after another ... When 4 minutes were remaining then Hilton scored excellent goal from top D with reverse flick to equalized ... After that Kiwis pushed for a win but failed to score.
