The Kookaburras avenged their Paris quarterfinal defeat by the Netherlands with a 4-2 victory over the Olympic champions at the FIH pro league in Sydney.
The league announced Wednesday that it will be playing a game in 2026 in Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a venue that holds about 100,000 spectators.
Western Sydney Wanderers’ 1-0 win over A-League cellar-dwellers Brisbane Roar has come at a cost, with Spanish star Juan Mata limping off early with a hamstring injury.
