Great Britain played their third Olympic Qualifying match in Santiago yesterday and faced their sternest test to date when they played Chile. Indeed, the match was six minutes into the second half before Richard Mantell was able to open the scoring from a penalty corner. Britain then conceded their first goal of the tournament when Esteban Krainz scored from a loose ball in the circle. Almost immediately Barry Middleton came to Great Britain's rescue when he slotted a pass from Jonty Clarke into the Chilean goal. Two more goals from James Tindall gave Great Britain the 4-1 victory.
The table currently has India in the lead on goal difference after their 18-1 thrashing of Mexico yesterday. Great Britain are second, with Austria third on six points from three matches.
Tomorrow will be the big match when Great Britain play India. Whatever the outcome, the two top teams play in a crossover match on Sunday to decide the qualifier.
