RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Gold-medal favorite Australia will not medal in Olympic men's field hockey for the first time in 28 years after being beaten by the Netherlands 4-0 in the quarterfinals on Sunday.
And Germany scored twice in the last 41 seconds to beat New Zealand 3-2 and keep alive its bid for a third straight Olympic gold medal.
Meanwhile, Argentina and Belgium were breathing rarefied air when they reached the medal rounds. It's Argentina's first time in the semifinals in 11 Olympics, and Belgium last played for a medal in 1928.
The semifinals on Tuesday see the Netherlands play Belgium, and Germany face Argentina.
