Semi-final: Germany - Belgium 2-2 (1-1) 2-0 SO

Forcing a penalty shootout with a last minute equalizer, Germany showed maximum efficiency and crushed the Red Panthers final hopes.

In an exciting and highly entertaining fast-paced match, Eileen Hoffmann set germany ahead in the first half deflecting a long ball, but Jill Boon ensured a balanced halftime score with a touch-in at the other end.

After the break, Belgium soon went ahead through Charlotte De Vos, and for half an hour, the Red Panthers not only held on to their lead, but rather created a number of excellent opportunities to win by a wider margin. Failing to make their chances count, the Belgians were dealt a blow in the shape of the match's first penalty corner for Germany with less than two minutes on the clock, which Marie Mävers finished off.

The late goal had a visible impact on the young Belgian team who crumbled under the pressure and could not challenge Germany in the shoot-out decider. Germany celebrated their fifth consecutive EuroHockey Championships final, while Belgium will be disputing the match for Bronze on Saturday.
