Deutschland - England
6 : 0   (2:0)
    What a start for the German team. They dominated the match nearly over 70 minutes. A more than deserved win.
70' 6:0 and a last cracking shot from Christopher Zeller 15 second before the final whistle from the D in the right corner.
69'   great run from Korn, Pinner clears with the face-mask
68'   great counter attack by GER. Montag misses the pass from Witthaus only for centimetres.
66'   three saves from Weinhold in a row, standing ovations for that
65' 5:0 Christoph Menke dives into a pass from Witthaus, he scores with the second attempt
64'   Simon Egerton with a dangerous deflection over the German goal

35'   second half underway
    It's a deserved lead for the German team. They are looking far more dangerous with their fast counter attacks. England has been better in the last phase of the first half. May they can increase their performance in the second half.
