HIL 2024-25: Soorma Eye Improved Scoring Efficiency In Key Match Against Gonasika
Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: Soorma Hockey Club are gearing up for their sixth match in the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25, facing Team Gonasika at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here on Tuesday. With eight points from five games, Soorma Hockey Club are placed fifth and head coach Jeroen Baart reflected on the team's performance so far, lauding their defensive endeavours while emphasising the need for creating more chances.
Three of Soorma’s matches have been decided in shootouts, with two going in their favour and earning bonus points. Speaking on this trend, Baart remarked, “I think it is very tight, all teams are close to each other and any team can go all the way. We are seeing this across other matches as well. You have to be on your toes throughout, games can go any way.”
Highlighting Soorma’s defensive strength, Baart said, “I think defensively we have been very solid, and we have a very good goalkeeper (Vincent Vanasch) who makes a difference as well. We have scored only one field goal in five games, so we have to make sure we get more efficiency up front, and this is something to focus on in the next few games.”
