Dutch men make it to hockey World Cup final
The Dutch men’s hockey team has sealed a place in the hockey World Cup final after beating England 1-0 on Friday afternoon.
It is the first time Oranje has qualified for the final in 16 years. They will play Australia, who beat Argentina 5-1 in the second semi-final.
The men’s semi-finals were brought forward to avoid the first Dutch football World Cup match against Spain which starts at 21.00.
The Dutch women will play Australia for the women’s world title on Saturday. It is the first time in hockey World Cup history that both finals are being contested by the same countries.
