One of the most important match in Pool A played between Germany (ranked No.1) and Netherland (ranked No. 4). It is the last match of the day on Dhyan Chand Stadium Dehli for March 7, 2010.
Both teams are traditional rivals in Men's field hockey and have their own strengths to beat each other on any day. Netherland is on the top position of the Pool A before this match, so they are fighting for their top pool position; while Germany is playing for their own supremacy as they never missed the semi-finals of the world cup since the second world cup in the history of hockey.
Match started with a regular pace and both teams were playing cautiously. Germany got few chances; especially in 19th minute when the ball was put in the nets on the rebound by a German forward but match referee blew a foul whistle before the ball was put in the nets. Netherland got three penalty corners in the 4th, 17th and 23rd minutes. In the 3rd penalty corner Netherland succeeded to score their first goal of the match. Wouter Jolie's hit was too strong to be stopped by New Zeland goal keeper; who tried his best to stop the ball but it went on the roof of the net after deflection from goal keeper's hand.
At the end of the first half Dutch were leading the score with 1-0.
