After England, Indian women's hockey team beat Spain 3-0

They were cautious in their pursuit, as they worked a disciplined structure with short, accurate passes that allowed them to create space in the circle. But an Indian goal remained elusive in the first quarter.  Meanwhile, the hosts created some good chances in the final five minutes of the first quarter, but India Captain and goalie Savita guarding the post was outstanding in her saves when Spain was awarded a PC in the 11th minute, and she also averted a potential field goal opportunity, keeping the score at 0-0.

India started the second quarter in a dominant fashion, showing clear intent to take a lead. They built on a strong attack, with Sushila setting up a fine field goal opportunity in the 22nd minute. She assisted Neha Goyal with a swift pass in the circle, but Neha's shot on goal bounced off the Spanish goalie Clara Perez's pads. Lalremsiami, the star of yesterday's match against England, picked up the rebound and smashed it past the goalie. To ensure it popped into the net, Vandana made a slight touch to push it past the goal-line.

In a comfortable 2-0 lead, India looked to finish well. The team defended with all their heart, as experienced Deep Grace Ekka, Nikki Pradhan and Sushila Chanu kept the Spanish attack in check while the forwards pushed for a third goal. The opportunity came knocking in the 58th minute when a confident Udita showed patience coupled with good dribbling skills to score, thus ending India's campaign with a stunning 3-0 victory.
