AUSTRALIA equaled the biggest winning margin in Champions Trophy history when it routed transtasman rival New Zealand 9-1 to begin its bid for a third straight title in Moenchengladbach, Germany, on Saturday.
Australia beat France by the same scoreline in 1992.
Luke Doerner, Jason Wilson and Russell Ford scored twice each, and Jamie Dwyer, Simon Orchard and Glenn Turner also got on the scoresheet for Australia.
Nicholas Wilson scored New Zealand's first tournament goal since 2004, but the Black Sticks' heaviest defeat in Trophy history also extended their record for the longest winless streak to 18 matches since 1983.
The Netherlands enjoyed a 5-2 tournament-opening win over Spain for a third successive year. Spain conceded four first-half goals for the first time since 1981.
Jeroen Hertzberger twice, Teun de Nooijer and Mink van der Weerden scored for the Dutch in the first half, and Rogier Hofman in the second. Ramon and David Alegre replied for Spain.
Olympic champion Germany beat England 4-2, running ahead 4-0 through Oskar Deecke, Jan-Marco Montag, Martin Haner.
