Trio of shoot-outs on nail-biting night of FIH Hockey Pro League action in Antwerp and London
It was a night of shoot-outs as three of Monday’s four matches in the FIH Hockey Pro League finished all square in regulation time. While they certainly didn’t have things their own way, Argentina’s men wrapped up their FIH Hockey Pro League campaign with a 4-2 shoot-out victory over New Zealand in Antwerp after finishing their match all square on 2-2. It also took a shoot-out to determine the winner in Spain’s showdown with the Netherlands men in London. The Dutch emerged victorious after edging the shoot-out 3-1 but the two points mean catching Great Britain at the top of the table could be tricky. In the women’s matches Barbara Nelen celebrated her 300th cap for Belgium, but her side were edged out 3-2 in a shoot-out against the Hockeyroos. That meant the Australians finished their Pro League campaign top of the table for now. In the only result in regulation time, Germany’s women claimed a convincing 4-1 victory over Great Britain in London.
