The Kookaburras lose an agonising semi-final against Germany after conceding two goals in the final two minutes.
abc.net.au/news/kookaburras-lose-to-germany-at-hockey-world-cup/101902614Australia's hockey men will have to wait until next year's Olympics for a chance to climb back to the summit after the most agonising of World Cup exits for the Kookaburras in India.
There was almost an inevitability about another famous German comeback win as player-of-the-match Niklas Wellen struck the winner just when a penalty shootout looked a certainty. "No matter what you ask, I don't know the answer," beamed Wellen, pondering how on earth Germany had escaped just as they had against England in the quarter-final when clawing back late from two down before winning a shoot-out.
It was Hayward's 99th goal for Australia in his 199th appearance and he extended his tournament-leading tally to eight.
