The Netherlands beat England
Robbert Kemperman scored twice to help the Netherlands score a 3-2 win over England in the Champions Trophy hockey.
Kemperman scored in the fourth minute and struck again in the 49th to give the Dutch a 3-1 lead. Richard Smith's goal 10 minutes later pulled England back to within one goal.
Earlier, South Korea overcame a 5-1 deficit to draw 5-5 with Spain, thanks to reserve Nam Hyun-woo scoring three goals in seven minutes off penalty corners.
Nam scored in the 58th, 61st and 65th minutes. You Hyo-sik added the equaliser for South Korea with three minutes remaining.
Pau Quemada scored three times for Spain, including a 53rd-minute goal that gave his side a four-goal advantage.
Also, Germany scored three first-half goals to set up a 3-1 win over Australia, handing the hosts and defending champions their first loss of the tournament.
Australia could have clinched a spot in the gold medal final on Sunday with a win. Both Australia and Germany are still looking good for a spot in the championship match, sitting first and second respectively with one round-robin match to go on Saturday.
