DANAS lose 2-0 against Australia in London despite 13 penalty corners

The German women's national hockey team suffered a 2-0 defeat against Australia in the FIH Pro League in London. In a game that was evenly balanced for long stretches, national coach Janneke Schopman's team lacked penetration, especially in the attacking third, while Australia used its chances efficiently.

DANAS had a lot of ball possession in the first quarter and national coach Janneke Schopman's team found their way into the duels well. The first good German chance to score came in the 12th minute through Jette Fleschütz, whose great finish with an Argentinian backhand was saved by Australian goalkeeper Jocelyn Bertram. Shortly afterwards, Friederike Heusgen had the chance to take the lead 1-0. However, Heusgen was unable to get Lilly Stoffelsma's sharp cross past the Australian keeper and into the goal.

The second quarter began as the first quarter had begun, with Germany increasingly establishing themselves in the Australian half.
