Olympics: Holland, Australia set up summit clash in hockey
09.50 IST   26th Aug 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Defending champions Holland and favourites Australia won their semifinal clashes in contrasting fashion to set up a title clash in the Olympic men's hockey competition in Athens today.

Holland overcame a fighting Germany 3-2 to get themselves just a win away from clinching their third successive Olympic hockey gold while Australia toyed with a hapless Spain for a comprehensive 6-3 win.

In other classification matches of the day, India went down to Pakistan 0-3 for their fourth loss in six matches in the competition and New Zealand beat South Korea 4-3.

The wins by Pakistan and New Zealand completed the line-up for December's Champions Trophy with the four Olympic semifinalists -- Australia, Holland, Spain and Germany -- and New Zealand making the grade.

Pakistan also qualify for the six-nation tournament as the hosts.

In the 8-12 play-off today, South Africa proved their continental superiority by beating Egypt 5-1 while Great Britain compounded Argentina's misery with a 4-1 thrashing.
