Germany beat England to enter Hockey World Cup final
|
|
Two-time defending champion Germany on Thursday defeated England 4-1 in the men's Hockey World Cup semi-finals to stay in the hunt for a third straight title.
With the victory, Germany, the 2002 and 2006 World Cup winners, avenged its loss to England in last year's European Cup final.
Germany took the lead when Jan-Marco Montag scored in the sixth minute, which was soon followed by another goal when Oliver Korn deflected in a cross to make it 2-0 in the 10th minute.
England tried to comeback into the game with the help of a goal by Richard Smith, but Martin Haner re-established Germany's two-goal advantage just before the break and Linus Butt rounded off the scoring from a penalty corner.
Earlier, Canada beat Pakistan 3-2 in extra time to finish 11th in the 12-team competition.
Germany will face either Australia or Holland in the final, with the losers of the other semi-final playing England for the bronze medal. (ANI) |

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of London news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.
This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The London Mercury is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of London.
We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a London weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the London Mercury is for you.
Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories. |
