France equalizes! Actually, Bellenger stops the corner. So he has to improvise and passes to Lockwood on the left. This fits with the first contact back to publisher Masson, who shoots the ball under Danneberg with a scrubber into the goal.

Wellen and M. Grambusch now combine, which is worth seeing, into the circle on the right, but the next mess follows. Grambusch misses the pass to Hellwig quite clearly without having been under pressure.

France is coming into play better at the moment, while Germany is making too many small mistakes. The national coach will not like that at all.

This time the Germans are trying a variant. After the publication on Tom Grambusch, he wants to play back on the editor, Niklas Wellen. But a French board is in between.

Quarter conclusion:
Germany and France are still 0-0 after 15 minutes. France had the first chance with a penalty corner (7′), before the Honamas themselves failed to convert a corner twice (11′, 14′). There’s still a bit of momentum missing in the German game, otherwise you actually have everything under control.

19:43
The Honamas have had little going on the offensive for about five minutes. In any case, the big spectacle on the field is still missing.
8th.
19:41
Weigand was actually awarded a penalty corner after a pass in the circle of the French shot, because the referee saw a punishable foot by Masson. After the video evidence, however, it is clear: He only touches the ball with the bat.

Penalty corner missed by Victor Lockwood (France)
Jean-Paul Danneberg distinguishes himself for the first time! Upon release, Victor Lockwood immediately seeks closure, targeting the lower left corner. Danneberg is on the spot and parried.

The ball rolls! Germany in the black jersey has the ball first. France wears white with red socks.
19:09
In contrast to the Honamas, France does not have progress in their own hands. There was a fierce 6-0 opener against the Netherlands before the French defeated Wales 2-0 on Monday. With the Welsh side losing to Oranje today, France have a chance of reaching the semi-finals. However: For this, the French have to work on their offensive. With two goals so far they have the second weakest of the tournament – only Austria have scored one less.
18:54
The more surprising the men’s hockey start against Wales and the disappointing draw (3:3) was, the greater the euphoria was after the clear 3:0 win over the defending champions from the Netherlands. The classic against the Dutch showed once again what a pound the German supporters in the hockey park in Mönchengladbach can be – also with regard to the fact that they might want to achieve something bigger at this European Championship. The energy should jump from the grandstand to the artificial turf again today, paving the way to the semi-finals.
18:40
The starting position of the Honamas can be explained simply: A win against the French and the team led by national coach André Henning moves into the next round, i.e. the semi-finals, as group winners. And even in the event of a draw, progression as second in the table is certain. France can only overtake the German men with a win and move into the semi-finals as second.
18:29
Welcome, dear field hockey friends, to the final day of the group phase at the European Men’s Championship in Mönchengladbach! From 7:30 p.m. Germany will be fighting for a place in the semifinals against France in front of their home crowd.
