ROTTERDAM: India came up with a brave performance but missed many chances, including a penalty stroke, to do down 1-2 to the Netherlands in the FIH Hockey Pro League here on Sunday.

With the championship title at stake, the Dutch pulled off a narrow 2-1 win to claim their maiden Pro League, finishing ahead of World and Olympic champions Belgium, who had to be satisfied with the second place despite a 5-0 win against England in London. The Netherlands finished with 36 points, one ahead of Belgium as India ended their campaign with a third-place finish. IANS
