Hockey World Cup: Defending champion Belgium beats Netherlands on penalties; qualifies for second-straight final

The Hindu  

At 35, Vincent Vanasch proved yet again why he is rated so highly on world hockey. On Friday, the veteran Belgian goalkeeper staved off a determined Dutch challenge in the shootout as the defending champion booked its second straight World Cup final spot after the teams were tied 2-2 at the end of regulation time. Tom Boon kept lurking around in the circle for the final touch while Arthur van Doren, Antoine Kina and Florent van Aubel kept creating the openings and entering the Dutch circle. Belgium came out much more attacking and determined post break and was all over Netherlands in the third quarter, muscling the ball through the field from all directions but a turnover in the 35th minute saw the Dutch earning back-to-back penalty corners and Janssen got them ahead again against the run of play. But barring a few opportunistic runs along the baseline on the counter, the Dutch had little to show for their efforts, barely managing to get the ball inside the Belgian circle as the Red Sticks practically parked in the Dutch half and finally got the equaliser at the stroke of 4th quarter, Nicolas de Kerpel making no mistake in slotting the ball in through Blaak’s outstretched legs.
