The Hockeyroos have been defeated by the Netherlands in their second match of the FIH Hockey World Cup, losing 4-2. According to ABC News, the Australian team put up a strong fight against the reigning champions.
The match took place in Amstelveen, with the Netherlands scoring their first goal through Yibbi Jansen in the 13th minute from a penalty corner. They doubled their lead with a goal from Joosje Burg, which Australia disputed due to a potential back stick in the build-up.
Despite the loss, the Hockeyroos are still likely to advance to the second round of the tournament, as the group's other results have gone in their favour.
