Belgium holds its second gold medal: Five years after losing the final in Rio, the men ‘s hockey team in Tokyo won the final 3-2 against Australia, winning the second gold after Nina Dervell (random bars). It was 1: 1 after regular game time.

After a 2: 4 defeat to Argentina in the Olympic final in Rio 2016, winning the World Championship title in 2018, the European Championship in 2019 and the Pro League in 2021, the Red Lions have only one bill left. And they paid with Olympic gold on Thursday afternoon.

The Red Lions scored their first goal of the game against two of the best teams in the world – Australia tops the world rankings ahead of Belgium – by Sebastian Dockier and Antoine Gina. But the goalkeepers were safe on both sides – 0-0 after the first quarter. Docker failed early in the second quarter after a good attack on Australian goalkeeper Andrew Charter. Alexander Hendrix tried to score his 15th goal of the match, but he missed two chances from the penalty corner. Even at half-time, no goals were scored at Y Hockey Stadium in Tokyo.

“I don’t think there’s much difference between the two men. In this game, the details will decide the outcome,” said national coach Shane McLeod before the kick-off. Colin Australia, who coached the Belgian national team until 2012, took fifth place at the 2012 London Olympics, and as a player, Patch was crowned world champion with Australia.

Big cheer at the start of the third quarter: Florent von Abel spot-on, the goalkeeper turned the charter and pushed the ball inside. A lead from the Australians in the post and then a strong save from Lions goalkeeper Vincent Vanach continued the lead at the end of the quarter.

“The 15 Most Important Minutes of Your Life” – this is what La Unea reporters reported last quarter. But Tom Wickham took advantage of a somewhat chaotic situation in the Belgium penalty area and drew 1-1 with 13 minutes to go. It was with all the tension until the end: to find the new Olympic champion in the shoot-out.

Vincent Vanash thwarts the first attempt of Australian superstar Blake Covers. Van Abel was replaced by Belgium. As a result, both shooters scored (for Arthur de Slover Belgium), but then Felix Denier and Simmonds each missed each ball. Goalkeeper Alexander Hendrix was misled by the goalkeeper at first, but then shot the ball into the net from the penalty spot: 3-2 for Belgium before the last two shots. Jack Wheaton missed his attempt, but the situation was checked again for a long time if the goalkeeper failed – eventually in favor of the Australians, got a new attempt. But they forgave that too: The Red Lions beat a real thriller and win gold.
