Argentina win women's hockey World Cup

Argentina have upset reigning World, Olympic, European and world top-ranked Netherlands 3-1 to take their second women's field hockey World Cup.

Carla Rebecchi put Netherlands heads down three minutes into the match, at the end of passes from the left from Luciana Aymar to Soledad Garcia to score.

Noel Barrionuevo converted Argentina's first penalty corner four minutes later, getting a deflection off the left glove of Netherlands goalkeeper Joyce Sombroek to establish a lead that was not to be relinquished.
