Indien - Japan
4 : 4   (2:1)
    what a match. Eight goals again. We saw 38 goals now in five matches here in Hamburg. India seemed to be the winner, but JAP came back with two late goals in the last five minutes of the match. So India is ranked on the fourth place at this tournament. JAP can climb on the second spot, if GER beats the Netherlands in the last match at 2 p.m.

1'   match has started
    This also could be the final for the olympic qualification at the Asian Games, but Pakistan, Korea and China will also fight for this goal.
    But it is also a prestigious match for India before the Asian Games in November. They surely want to win against one of the serious opponents in November in Guangzhou.
    Japan has already chances to win the tournament, when they win against India with a high score and the Netherland beat Germany in the second match of the day.
    Umpires of the match are van t'Heck (NED) and Bachmann (GER).
    Welcome to the fifth match of the BDO Hamburg Masters between India and Japan.
