Raipur: Canadian goalkeeper produced a Hero Man of the Match performance but it was not enough to stop Australia from taking a 6-0 victory in their final Pool A match at the Hero Hockey World League Final 2015 in Raipur, India.<\/p>\nRaipur: Canadian goalkeeper produced a Hero Man of the Match performance but it was not enough to stop Australia from taking a 6-0 victory in their final Pool A match at the Hero Hockey World League Final 2015 in Raipur, India.<\/p>\n
The Kookaburras were at their brilliant best in the first quarter, taking a 4-0 lead thanks to goals from Daniel Beale, Jeremy Hayward, Dylan Wotherspoon and Matthew Dawson. It was an electric start from the world champions, but Canada tightened up their defences and a string of excellent saves from Carter kept the Aussies at bay until the dying minutes when Kieran Govers found the target before Beale scored a second to complete the scoring.<\/p>\n
The result was not enough for Australia to finish at the top of Pool A, which will be decided by the result from this evening’s meeting between Great Britain and Belgium.<\/p>\n
“I think that there was a little bit of improvement from the GB game, at the very least it was a step in the right direction”, said Australia’s Eddie Ockenden, referring to his side’s defeat against Great Britain on Sunday.<\/p>\n
On being named Hero Man of the Match, Canadian goalkeeper David Carter said: “It is definitely bittersweet. They are such a class side that we got pretty much outplayed in the first quarter, but from there I thought we did alright. We conceded two goals pretty late, which makes the result look a bit worse than it was, I thought.” <\/p>\n
