#3 Barrage of fouls from both sides
The opening quarter was laden with a whole lot of excitement as both teams, stacked with an array of superstars opted to surge ahead, in an approach to scoring early in the game.
With both teams making impressive runs into the scoring areas, the onus was on the defenders and midfielders to keep their opponents from getting a sneak ahead.
The Netherlands earned the first card of the game as de Geus Jonas picked the first card for a wild foul and just as he was set to make his way back onto the playing arena, the Germans were forced to play with ten men as Tom Grambusch's nudge did not impress the umpire.
With the high-voltage clash tied at 1-1 ahead of the final quarter, the Dutch seemed to ramp up the pressure as Christopher Ruhr took matters into his own hands as he looked to tackle the ball away but got his body in the way as he scampered away on being shown the green card.
