Netherlands on another rampage

A hat-trick from Krystal FORGESSON in her 100th game could not stop a rampant Netherlands side from scoring seven times for the second successive game to run out comfortable winners against New Zealand in the second game of the day here in Rosario. Oranje fully deserved their victory, producing a master class of attacking hockey that included a period of four goals being scored in 14 breathless minutes.
