Holland is a winning machine

Holland team showed today that is one of the candidates to conquer World Hockey League's title, which is being played at Natación y Gimnasia's stadium.

No more than 15 minutes of the match had past and Ducth team won South Corea by 3-0. Goals were scored by Lidewij Welten, two times, and by Kitty van Male. Holland went to the interval deserving the triumph, with a great ballon control and a high efficiency in scoring.

At the second time situation changed considerably. Rain, that was felt on the stadium, made the game slower and dutch attacks failed remarkably. That opportunity was profitted by Eunbi Cheon, who converted for the Asian girls.

The match ended 3-1 and the team coached by Argentinian "Maxi" Caldas classified for semifinals with an ideal counter, after adding their third consecutive victory after the 6-0 against Germany and the 3-2 against England. Besides this, Dutch girls are the highest scoring team of the tournment with 12 goals, with an average of 4 by game.

They prefer the heat

Incredible, but real, when asking Holland team's captain, Maartje Paumen and Welten if they preferred today's rain or previous days' heat, both coincided that they prefer to play with 40° C. The field, very wet, played against one of the favourite's tournment teams.
