Goal

It's what you call a self-goal although Hockey doesn't uses the terminology. Ball touched by Klaas VERMEULEN as the ball moves towards the cage. English defender Rob MOORE, in an attempt to clear the ball, accidently hits and ball goes into the goal.

Dutch have beaten English all because of their classy play in the 2nd half. They bombarded the English with a series of attacks. Their perseverence, determination, aggression, persistence paid. They didn't concede a single goal and scored 3 in the second half.
Dutch get a well deserved Bronze Medal as England will be dissappointed to finish 4th.
