The Netherlands drew curtains on a one-sided affair against India with the tie ending with a scoreline of 5-1.

The Dutch women made the breakthrough in the sixth minute through Felice Albers. It wasn't long before India responded with skipper Rani Rampal finding the goal in the 10th minute.

After a dull second quarter where neither side converted their opportunities, Netherlands took the baton in their hands to score twice in the third quarter.

Caia van Maasakker rounded off the rout in style as she scored off a penalty corner to see the game eventually end at 5-1.

A bright start to the top-ranked side in the world and a reality check for the Indian eves, who entered the game with a lack of playing experience against the top sides in the world amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

With eight minutes left into the game, the Netherlands have gone 5-1 against India courtesy of Caia van Maasakker.

The Dutch defender scores off a penalty corner that breezes past the bottom left of Indian goalkeeper Savita.

Score: 5-1

When the scores were tied 1-1 at half-time, the obvious thought was that the Indian women's hockey team could pull off a confident draw against the Netherlands.

However, a one-sided third quarter that was solely in favour of the Dutch players has showcased the gaps in the Indian eves.

Will there be a remarkable turnaround or will India end their opening game of their Tokyo 2020 campaign with a loss?

Score: 4-1

Within seconds of the third goal, the Netherlands have now gone 4-1 against India to effectively have the contest in the bag.

Felice Albers netted her second goal of the night after converting a cross from close range from Pien Sanders.

Frederique Matla's driving run and seemingly impressive back-hand shot at the goal gives the Dutch a sizeable lead over India. 

The Netherlands, the top-ranked side in women's hockey, are seemingly making it difficult for India to breathe in the encounter. However, Rani Rampal's side have stepped up their efforts to correct their defensive lapses.

Plenty of action and drama awaits as we are into their final minutes of the third quarter.

Third-time charm for the Netherlands as they finally score off a penalty corner against India.

Margot Van Geffen's shot takes a deflection off Nisha's stick into the top left corner of the Indian goal.

A successful referral meets a successful goal! The Dutch ladies are stamping their authority with ease.

Score: 2-1

As things stand, India could possibly pull off a draw against the mighty Netherlands.

The tide of the game fluctuated from the hands of the Netherlands taking central command to the Women in Blue slowly gaining confidence to make an offensive move.

All eyes will be in the next quarter as the ladies, led by Rani Rampal, could draw inspiration from their comeback in the first quarter to take a lead in the third quarter.

Score: 1-1

Indian goalkeeper Savita makes a couple of solid saves to stall the Netherlands pressure.

Two penalty corners but the Dutch still can't make a breakthrough. Can India take advantage of the situation and grab the lead instead?
