Australia, Britain advance to field hockey semis

Published November 20, 2014

Australia and Great Britain claimed the final two semifinal spots in the men's field hockey tournament on the last day of group play at the London Games.

Australia posted a 7-0 win over Pakistan in its final Pool A game, winning the group over Great Britain, which could only manage a 1-1 tie against Spain.

The Netherlands had already clinched a spot in the semis heading into Tuesday's action, but it still posted a 4-2 victory over South Korea to win Pool B going away with a perfect 5-0 record.

Germany needed only one point to earn the second semifinal spot from Pool B and did enough with a 5-5 tie against New Zealand.

The semifinals are set for Thursday when the Netherlands faces Great Britain and Germany battles Australia.
