Amsterdam, March 6 : The Netherlands women and Germany men claimed deserved FIH Hockey Pro League wins on Saturday, as the first matches of a weekend double header between two of hockey’s fiercest rivals took place at the Wagener Stadium in Amsterdam.
The action began in the women’s competition, with Germany taking a shock lead against the home favourites before eventually succumbing to the league leaders the Netherlands, who gave Alyson Annan her 100th win as head coach of the Oranje.
Lisa Altenburg put Die Danas ahead in the 12th minute of the contest, brilliantly controlling a pass into the circle on her reverse before squeezing her shot past Netherlands goalkeeper Anne Veenendaal. It was a lead that Germany held until the third quarter, with the Dutch scoring twice in five minutes to flip the match on its head.
