Hockey World Cup: Netherlands thrash South Korea 5-1 to reach semifinals

Bhubaneswar, Jan 25 Netherlands thrashed South Korea 5-1 in the last quarterfinals match at the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 to reach the semifinals of the tournament at the Kalinga Stadium, here on Wednesday. Netherlands and Korea played a fascinating first quarter in the quarterfinals. Korea had a great chance on one of their attacks launched from a turnover they forced at the halfway line. Korea would finally end Netherlands' run of 15 consecutive quarters without conceding a goal through Seo Inwoo, but with a 4 goal deficit, a comeback looked unlikely. We enjoy playing against Belgium, we play them quite frequently in Europe, so bring on the semi-finals," said Bijen.
