The Netherlands won their first men’s hockey Olympic gold medal in 24 years by beating Germany on penalties in a thrilling final at Paris 2024.<\/b><\/p>\n
After a 1-1 draw across 60 minutes, Dutch keeper Pirmin Blaak starred as he saved three shuffles in the 3-1 shootout success.<\/p>\n
The Dutch claimed their third Olympic men’s title but first since they beat South Korea on penalties at Sydney 2000.<\/p>\n
In a high-quality final between the two best sides in the world, the Dutch took the lead through Thierry Brinkman who bundled in Koen Bijen’s dink over German keeper Jean-Paul Danneberg.<\/p>\n
They could have wrapped the match up 11 minutes from time only for a close-range Bijen shot to be cleared off the line by defender Gonzalo Peillat.<\/p>\n
Germany then equalised seconds later as Thies Prinz salvaged a botched short corner and struck the ball into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n
The final went straight to penalties where the first five shuffles of the shootout were saved.<\/p>\n
Brinkman and Thijs van Dam scored for the Dutch, while Justus Weigand struck for Germany.<\/p>\n
Duco Telgenkamp – the youngest player in the Netherlands’ squad – took the winning penalty shuffle, finding the net on his reverse.<\/p>\n
There was a clash between the two sets of players after the shootout, sparked by Telgenkamp, 22, running over to Germany keeper Danneberg and performing a shushing celebration.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Thursday, India fought back from a goal down to beat Spain 2-1 and claim bronze.<\/p>\n
Marc Miralles’ penalty stroke put Spain ahead at the start of the second quarter.<\/p>\n
But two penalty corner goals from captain Harmanpreet Singh ensured India won bronze for the second Games in a row.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
