England faced Germany in the best way possible and they fighted until the end trying to reach a place in one of the semi-finals. On the other hand, the big surprise was the endurance and resilience of the Catalan team against the Chinese Taipei squad during the whole match. It was not an easy win for the Asians, but a great game for all spectators who attended this game on hall 2.

The two evening semi-finals were very different. The Dutch team defeated Germany very easily from the very beginning. And today’s last game between the Belgian and Chinese Taipei became one of the best games of the championship so far. Intensity, lots of goals, emotion, passion, good korfball actions and all the things we love in such an important and decisive duels like this.
