Germany marched into the final of the Junior Hockey World Cup 2025 with a commanding 5-1 victory over hosts India in the semifinal played in Chennai on Sunday. It was a clinical and ruthless performance from the Germans, who outclassed India in every department to set up a title clash against Spain.
Germany started strongly, immediately putting pressure on the Indian defense. Their early dominance earned them a penalty stroke, calmly converted by Lucas Kosel, giving them a 1-0 lead. The pressure didn’t stop there—Germany continued to create chances and capitalised again before the end of the first quarter, heading into the break with a 2-0 advantage.
The second quarter offered little relief for India, who struggled to piece together meaningful attacks. Germany stayed aggressive, earning multiple penalty corners and maintaining territorial control. At halftime, India already faced a steep climb with Germany firmly in command at 3-0.
The second half began with India desperately needing a response, but Germany were unrelenting. Their fourth goal of the match came midway through the third quarter, effectively sealing the outcome as India looked increasingly deflated. The hosts did manage a moment of consolation when Anmol converted a penalty corner in the 49th minute, reducing the deficit to 4-1.
However, Germany restored their four-goal cushion soon after, making it 5-1 heading into the closing stages. The final minutes saw India pushing for another goal, but the Germans’ defensive structure held firm.
By the final whistle, the result was undeniable—Germany were dominant from start to finish. The hosts’ spirited campaign came to a disappointing end, while Germany advanced confidently to face Spain in the final on December 10.
