CWG 2022: We lost momentum after the 'clock howler', says coach Janneke Schopman after Indian women's hockey team's semifinal defeat
Commonwealth Games (CWG) semifinal loss to Australia, coach Janneke Schopman said her side was left deflated and lost momentum after the incident. The Hockeyroos set up the gold-medal clash against England after a controversial 3-0 win over India on penalties here on Friday. During the shootout, Australia's Rosie Malone missed her shot but to the dismay of the Indian team and fans, the forward was given a second chance as a technical official, B Morgan of England, had failed to start the clock on time. Each player gets eight seconds to put the ball into the net in the shootout. Given a second chance, Malone scored and that set the tone for the shootout as the Indians failed their first three attempts, while Australia converted all their chances.
