Germany and England reached the final of the men's edition of Euro Hockey Nations Cup being held in Amsterdam. England won the first semifinal against Netherlands by a goal at the end of the extra time. They took the lead in the first half but Netherlands equalized in the second. In the extra time the match seemed to be running towards the penalty shootout. However at the end of the match England scored a goal to win 2-1. The goal was the last movement on the field. In the second semifinal, Germany defeated Spain 2-1. Germany were leading 1-0 in the first half. Spain then equalized from a penalty stroke, but the Germans scored the winning goal converting a penalty corner. Both the finalists of last year are thus thrown out of their challenge for the gold.
