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.
