Australia defeats India
Australia defeated India 7-0 in the men’s hockey final on Monday in Birmingham. They keep their spotless record at the Commonwealth Games.
On the penultimate day of competition in Birmingham, the six-time defending champions humiliated their rivals in stifling heat.
Since men’s hockey was added to the Commonwealth Games schedule in 1998. Australia has won every gold medal.
After the first quarter, the strong Australians led 2-0. Two goals from Jacob Anderson helped them lead 5-0 after 30 minutes.
Early in the fourth quarter, Flynn Ogilvie finished the thrashing by scoring his second goal to make it 6-0.
We take delight in that, he continued.
“It’s fantastic to be able to do it with little to no cardiac issues. We had to play boldly, aggressively, and take the game on right away, and we did just that. The two games [the final and the semi-final versus England] differ in that regard. England, the host country, defeated South Africa 6-3 to win bronze.
With 67 gold medals, Australia has won the most medals, 10 more than England. India has 22 gold medals, while Canada is third with 26.
