  GAME N38 14.08.2009

NETHERLANDS – USA
12:11 (2:2, 2:2, 2:2, 1:1, 0:0, 0:0; penalty 5:4)




     The intrigue of the match between the USA and Holland remained till the last seconds of the game. Throughout all game, none of the teams was losing to the competitor more than by one goal. Even the extra time didn’t help to define the strongest national team. Only by means of five additional penalties the Dutchwomen managed to win one ball against the national team of the USA and to get to the final.

     Ilse SINDORF, head coach of the Netherlands: - It was a very good game, during all four periods the teams played as equals. I think that the spectators enjoyed the today's performance very much. The most exciting was the final - the extra time game and the penalty. I understood that we should be the best. My girls and I are very happy to get in the final.

     Kyle UTSUMI, head coach of the USA: - We are very disappointed that we lost. We had a real chance to reach the final.
