BHUBANESWAR: Netherlands pushed Men’s Hockey World Cup debutants Chile to the mat and kept them there in a dominating 14-0 win in a Pool C, which is also a new tournament record, at the Kalinga Stadium here on Thursday.
The Dutch team went past the 12-0 world record that Australia had set, beating South Africa in the 2010 edition of the World Cup. Incidentally, that too was in India, when the tournament was hosted in Delhi.
The team in orange continued to boss Pool C with their third consecutive win to remain unbeaten in the pool stage.
Janssen Jip (four goals) and skipper Thierry Brinkman (3 goals) scored hat-tricks, while Koen Bijen scored two and Derck de Vilder, Thijs van Dam, Terrance Pieters, Justen Blok and Teun Beins scored one apiece.
The world No. 3 Netherlands extended their run of clean sheets after beating both Malaysia and New Zealand with identical 4-0 margins. In total they scored 22 goals in the pool stage alone.
“The biggest take away from this match is the confidence the players will get about playing good hockey,” said Delmee Jeroen, Netherlands head coach.
“That said, we shouldn’t be too happy that we scored 14 goals. I’m happy with the attitude of the boys because they realise the quarterfinals is different and this doesn’t count for much. But it was good practice for the quarterfinals, for which we will be ready.”
