Hockey World Cup 2018, Germany v Netherlands: 5 Talking Points from the match

#1 Three goals in the final quarter for Germany

Ruhr put the result beyond any doubt

With the score tied on 1-1 ahead of the final quarter, it was only a matter of which team was due to take the upper hand in the final quarter.

Germany certainly looked like the dominating team as the strikers were dished out some fabulous passes while the midfielders' top effort in the final quarter earned them three goals.

Florian Fuchs started Dutch's downfall as he earned a penalty corner early in the last quarter which Lukas Windfeder duly converted.

Only a few minutes later, Pirmin Blaak's deflection was collected by Niklas Wellen, who drilled a ball low into the front of the goalmouth as Marko Miltkau dived to his left and deflected the ball into the net.

To add salt to the wounds, the Germans also earned a penalty stroke in the final few minutes as the ball took a hit on the Dutch defender on the goal line.

The chance was taken by Christopher Ruhr, who lifted the ball with pace into the left top corner as the Germans celebrated their fantastic win.
