Multiple-time champions Germany and Netherlands completed the semifinal line-up of the 15th Mens Hockey World Cup today. In the last two quarterfinals at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar, two-time champions Germany beat England 4-3 in shootout while Netherlands trounced Korea 5-1.
The first match of the day was a dramatic affair with Germany fighting back from 0-2 down to edge out England in shoot out. The nerve-wraking match went to the shootout stage after play in the regulation time ended in 2-2 draw.
England created the hopes of a comfortable win as they led 2-0 with Zachary Wallace scoring a field goal in the 11th minute and Liam Ansell converting a penalty corner in the 32nd minute. But with three minutes to go for the final hooter, Germany rose like proverbial phoenix from the ashes and scored twice within two minutes to draw the match 2-2.
