HWL Finals: Aussies steamroll Canada 6-0

RAIPUR: World No. 1 Australia thrashed Canada 6-0 as they ended their World League Finals Group B sojourn here at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium with a bang. With a brace from Daniel Beale, the Aussies looked in command right from the word go as the Canadians faltered at every step.
Having conceded five goals against Britain, Australia got off to a rousing start against the 14th ranked team in the world with Beale finishing off a brilliant move after Trent Mitton's pass from the right of the goal. Jeremy Howard, who was on target in the previous match against Great Britain, doubled the lead for the Kookaburras from the first penalty corner of the match before Dylan Wotherspoon bulldozed his way past the Canadian defence to score a third. With their defence torn to shreds and the match already as good as over in the first quarter, Canada went through the motions before the Aussies struck again.
