Getting information from this competition in English is proving difficult. However, we are able to update some of yesterday's news. In the match between Argentina and Australia, Argentina came out winners as a result of a last gasp penalty corner strike from Luciana Aymar. This is a semi-round robin competition with the first and second placed teams playing in Sunday's final. The Germans look almost certain to be in the final. They are playing the underperforming Australians on Saturday. A win would give them the result they need, whilst the Hockeyroos are already condemned to the last place play-off.
Yesterday made hockey history, when the video umpire was used for the first time. A Natasha Keller strike from the edge of the 'D' in their match against New Zealand was referred to the video umpire to confirm that the shot was taken from inside the line.
