Germany beat Spain in CT

Germany scored a last-minute goal to beat Spain 5-4 in their Champions Trophy match on Tuesday.

Benjamin Wess took the lead for Germany with a first-minute goal. He followed his own pass to the right and drove it home in the circle and redeemed himself for a disqualification in Germany's last game, which they lost 5-3 to South Korea.

Jan-Marco Montag then flicked a penalty corner conversion four minutes later for a 2-0 lead.

Spain responded quickly, with Albert Sala and Eduard Arbos combining for a right-side challenge to Germany's defence. Arbos' last touch sent the ball into goal.

Aged just 18, the tournament's youngest player Florian Fuchs replied for Germany seconds later and gave his side a 3-2 lead at the break.

Goals from Eddie Tubau and Jordi Carrera put Spain back in front in the second half.

With eight minutes to go, Fuchs made it 4-4.

A penalty corner and three shots on goal from Germany followed, with Matthias Witthaus' winning goal green-lighted by the video umpire with just 33 seconds left to play.
