Bhubaneswar, Jan 24 (Ians) Defencing Champions Belgium remained on course for back-to-back titles as they reached the semifinals of the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 203, prevailing 2-0 over New Zealand in the quarterfinals at the Kalinga Stadium here on Tuesday.
They joined World No.1 Australia in the semifinals and await the winner of the Netherlands and Korea on Wednesday to decide a place in the final.
The Red Lions struck via Tom Boon in the 10th minute and Florent Van Aubel then doubled their lead in the 15th minute. The two strikes in the first two quarters proved enough as they defended stoutly to thwart New Zealand.
The talk before the game was the injury suffered by Alex Hendrickx leaving Belgium without their ace drag-flicker for the rest of the World Cup.
However, star forward Tom Boon allayed some of the worries by scoring the first penalty corner Belgium...

Bhubaneswar, Jan 22 (Ians) India messed up a plethora of chances and a 3-1 lead midway through the third quarter to allow New Zealand to come back and hold them 3-3 in regulation time and then fluffed a few more chances in the shoot-out to lose 4-5 in sudden death in their Crossover stage match and crashed out of the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup, here on Sunday.
It was a story of errors and missed chances as India held a 2-0 lead just before half-time but allowed New Zealand to score a late goal to make it 2-1 at the breather. On resumption, the Indians extended the lead to 3-1 but poor marking in the circle and basic error while defending allowed New Zealand to score two quick goals and hold Graham Reid’s side 3-3 at the end of 60 minutes of play.
