Was it really the kind of massacre that the scoreline seems to reflect? Not really, as the Indians were very much in the contest against a vastly superior side up until half-time. One PC goal early in the second half altered the complexion of the match as the Dutch veered ahead finding space while the Indians looked for an equalizer after leaving the pitch with the score tied at 1 - 1 before the long breather
Just what the Indians feared - one goal leads to another as the Indian defence falling apart. END OF Q3: NETHERLANDS 4 - INDIA 1
India lose their way after a pacy attack - Savita with no chance after a shot from close range
INDIA 1 - NETHERLANDS 1 WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS GOING TO BE A GOAL-FEST FOR THE DUTCH - ARE WRONG THUS FAR. THE INDIANS ARE VERY MUCH IN THIS - WHAT WILL THE SECOND HALF BRING?? STAY TUNED WITH US!
The drag-flick is well directed but the last Indian runner stationed at the goal mouth uses her stick to good effect
