Australia started the game on the front foot but it was Germany who created the first clear opening chance. They earned a penalty corner and a powerful hit by Malte Hellwig struck the top left corner of the backboard giving the world champions the lead. The World champions ended the first quarter with the goal.
Australia continued their search for the equaliser but Germany remained disciplined in defence. Australia won their first penalty corner with 5 minutes left in the half but Danneberg in the goal for Germany, made the save. Jack Welch forced another save out of Danneberg with a powerful hit from the top of the circle and Hinrichs was sharp in gathering the rebound and clearing. The Kookaburras were left searching for the goal.
In the second half, Australia had a fantastic opportunity. Sharp hit shot from the top of the circle, but Ephraums deflected it away, denying the goal. The third quarter failed to produce a goal despite the high intensity as Australia’s search for an equaliser and Germany’s search for a cushion continued into the final fifteen minutes.
Australia won a penalty corner with 10 minutes left in the game. It was Welch who took on the corner but his shot was run down brilliantly by Tom Grambusch. Australia won another penalty corner a few seconds later, but a fantastic double save by Danneberg continued to frustrate the Kookaburras.
With 15 seconds left in the game Australia mustered one final chance through a penalty corner, but Danneberg saved again and earned Germany a win and all three points.
