Not a good Friday for Netherlands and Spain

22 Apr 2011 | Davide Tuniz

South Korea surprisingly earned three points against Netherlands, Spain is annihilated by Hungary and needs a miracle to avoid relegation

Korea earns its first three points quite surprisingly against Netherlands, in a game where Oranjes were favourites, but Korean speed, a very good central period and at least three mistakes by goalie Meierdres overturned prevision and now Korea can grab bronze if win versus Spain tomorrow. World Championship finishes here for Netherlands, surely with a negative balance for ambitious Dutch hockey: just a victory against tail-end Spain.
In the second game Hungary completes its preparation for tomorrow deathmatch against Italy hammering Spain in a very simple training match for host: 13 goals in front of 8500 enthusiastic spectators. Spain is almost relegated unless a complicated "a lot of" goal victory against Korea
