25. August, GANT EHC in Moenchengladbach, Women: Germany – Spain 2:1 (1:1)
25.08.2011 - Germany won their semi-final against Spain 2:1 (1:1) and booked their ticket to the Olympics next year. In the first half Germany dominated the match but let too many chances go. Only Eileen Hoffmann scored after a brilliant pass from Jana Teschke (11th minute).
Natascha Keller and again Hoffmann had great chances but Isabel Barguno kept her goal clean. Keller had an especially great day and got several times extra applause. But the one time the German defense was asleep allowed Beatriz Perez to score the first Spanish shot on the goal – 1:1. Until the break Germany kept penetrating the Iberian circle but their attackers always came one step too late. It was the same after the break: Germany with more possession and more chances but no luck.
Germany tried to destroy the Spanish build-up as early as possible but even when they got the ball Spain defended with all ten players behind the ball. In the 61st minute Natascha Keller decided the match. Eileen Hoffmann passed inside the circle and Keller scored her 197th goal for Germany. In the last minutes Germany kept Spain at bay and ensured a place in the final and their ticket to London.
