India Lose 1-5 to Germany in FIH Junior Men’s Hockey World Cup Semifinal

Germany dominated early, scoring through Lukas Kossel (14′, 30′), Titus Wex (15′), Jonas von Gersum (40′) and Ben Hasbach (49′). India struggled to create chances despite improved play in the second quarter. Anmol Ekka (51′) netted India’s lone goal from a smart penalty-corner move. Indian goalkeeper Princedeep Singh made several key saves, but Germany’s clinical finishing sealed a comprehensive win.
India will now take on Argentina in the 3rd/4th place playoff on Wednesday.
