Amstelveen, Aug. 29 -- One of hockey's most storied rivalries took centre stage once again on Saturday as Argentina ended the Netherlands' winning streak in a dramatic shootout to claim the FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 title on Dutch soil here.

Four years after the Netherlands defeated Las Leonas in the 2022 World Cup final, Argentina turned the tables.

A tense 1-1 draw after regulation sent the championship to a shootout, where keeper Cristina Cosentino emerged as the hero, with Argentina prevailing 3-1, according to olympics.com.
