A brave England effort against the host nation came to an end when the Germans were awarded a penalty stroke in the 42 minute. England had gone into the break on even terms courtesy of a penalty stroke conversion by Simon Mantell, which cancelled out Christopher Zeller's penalty corner goal earlier in the match. It was Zeller who stepped up to the spot after a shot at goal was stopped on the goal line by the body of a defender. Final score 2-1 to Germany.Surprise result of the day was when rank outsiders, South Africa, held Group A leaders Korea to a 2-2 draw.
