Germany win second successive hockey gold

Germany won their second successive men's hockey gold on Saturday by
beating the Netherlands 2-1 with Jan Philipp Rabente scoring twice in a
fast-paced encounter.
Rabente opened the scoring at the end of the first half when he rode
two challenges inside the Dutch circle and, in diving, flicked the ball
past the outstretched keeper into the net for his first goal of the
tournament.

Mink van der Weerden got the Dutch back into the match in the second
half with a penalty corner drag flick for his eighth goal of the
tournament.

But Rabente scored again with five minutes to go. His first attempt
saved, he danced around the back of the goal, appealing for a corner,
but re-emerged at the far post to tap in a pass back into the D.
