Tokyo Olympics, Women’s hockey: Germany beat India 2-0, Rani Rampal & Co suffers consecutive defeats – Rani Rampal-led Team India have lost the crucial group stage contest 0-2 against Germany.

Adding to India women’s hockey team woes, Gurjit Kaur missed a penalty stroke in the 3rd quarter.- India at Tokyo Olympics

The Indian team penetrated the German circle for the first time in the second quarter but failed to net a goal. The women in Blue had two clear chances but they failed to convert on both occasions.

In the fourth quarter, searching for a desperate goal, the Indian side kept fighting till the last minute but weren’t able to find the net.

Earlier, Netherlands had thrashed India in their opening game on Sunday and after today’s loss, the side in Blue have faced consecutive defeats in the Tokyo Olympics.

Indian women’s Hockey team will next take on Great Britain (Wednesday), Ireland (30 July 2021), and South Africa (31 July 2021) before the knockout stage, which begins on August 2.
