Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: Chile Keep Hopes Alive With 6-0 Win Over Czech Republic
Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: Pan-Am Games bronze medallists Chile maintained their chances of making a maiden entry into the Olympic Games hockey competition with a commanding 6-0 victory over Czech Republic in the women's FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium, here on Sunday.
Skipper Manuela Urroz slammed in a brace of goals, hitting the target in the 47th and 56th minutes while Consuelo De Las Heras (13th min), Camila Caram (38th min), Antonia Orchard Morales (44th min) and Maria Maldonado (58th min) contributed a goal apiece to the Chile scoreline as they recovered from their 3-0 defeat to Germany in their opening match on Saturday.
Sunday's win keeps Chile in the hunt and sets up a direct shoot-out for the semis spot with Japan, who defeated the Czech Republic on Saturday, as these two teams jostle for the second spot behind Germany, a second successive defeat means the Czech Republic are out of the race for a place in the last-four.
