Hockey World Cup: Germany dethrone Belgium in sudden-death thriller to end 17-year wait for third title
Belgium took turns to show that in a test that refused to end, until Belgium died a 'sudden death', which gave the Germans a third Men's Hockey World Cup title -- first since 2006. It was Germany first who put the game on a knife's edge by erasing a two-goal deficit to level it at 2-2 and then got into the lead at 3-2. Then, it was the turn of the defending champions.The Red Lions' refusal to give up earned them a penalty corner in the 59th minute and Tom Boon came to the party to make it 3-3 and push the game into a shootout.
