1-1 with Germany during regular time 3-1 win on penalties. They also brawled after the game for the first time in 24 years since they won the 2000 Sydney Games by beating Korea.

The Dutch men’s hockey team has won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics after beating Germany, for the first time in 24 years.

On the 8th (Korean time), the Netherlands won 3-1 in a penalty shootout against Germany in the final of the men’s hockey competition held at the Yves Dumanoir Stadium in Paris, France.

It was the first time in 24 years that the Netherlands had won the gold medal in this event, after beating Korea in a penalty shootout at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It is also the third gold medal in this event in the history of the Netherlands.

On this day, the Netherlands and Germany engaged in a fierce battle, but they were unable to score until the end of the second period (20 minutes per period).

In the end, it was the Netherlands that scored the first goal. Six minutes into the third period, Thierry Brinkmann (29) of the Netherlands beat German goalkeeper Jean-Paul Danneberg and scored.

However, Germany brought the game back to square one four minutes later. Thiers Pirintz of Germany fired a powerful shot from the edge of the circle toward the bottom of the goal, and the ball went into the goal, making it 1-1.

The two teams, unable to decide the winner after all of the regular time, went into a thrilling penalty shootout. In a penalty shootout, five runners from each team must shoot within eight seconds. The star player of the Netherlands’ victory that day was definitely goalkeeper Pirmin Block. He saved three of his four attempts, and the Dutch Duco Telgenkamp scored the last goal, ultimately winning 3-1. However, after the game, the Dutch players celebrated with jubilation, during which Telgenkamp approached German goalkeeper Danneberg and made a ‘shhh’ hand gesture, which led to a brawl between the two teams. Meanwhile, India defeated Spain 2-1 in the bronze medal match for the men’s hockey at the tournament and took third place. Having won a bronze medal in the previous Olympics, the 2020 Tokyo Games, India enjoyed the joy of winning two consecutive medals. In particular, Indian team captain Harmanpreet Singh scored 10 goals in eight games at this tournament, setting a record as the highest scorer in the men’s tournament. 토토사이트
