Taekema eliminates GB

Britain's bid for a place in the semi-finals effectively ended when they drew 1-1 with Canada.

Canada went ahead through an opportunistic goal by Ken Pereira in the 47th minute, when Britain were down to 10 for the second time following a yellow card suspension for James Tindall.

Britain equalised through Matt Daly three minutes from time.

"The first 25 minutes we showed enough quality to win it, but I think two pieces of ill-discipline cost us horribly," Britain coach Jason Lee said.

The Netherlands and Australia have both qualified for the semi-finals after the draw which sees them both move to ten points, three more than Britain.

Germany resurrected their semi-final hopes with a 1-0 win over Group A leaders Spain.

Moritz Fuerste scored the winner just before half-time as the World Cup winners moved within a point of leaders Spain.

New Zealand and South Korea are in third place with seven points each and both can still qualify.

The Black Sticks came back from 2-0 down against winless China with Simon Child and Shea McAleese on target.

South Korea came back from a goal down to beat Belgium 3-1.

Gutsy Belgium, who held world number two Germany to a 1-1 draw, went ahead in the 20th minute through a remarkable goal by Jerome Dekeyser.

They had another goal disallowed, however, before South Korea equalised through Sik Hyo You after Seong Eun Hong set it up for him. Belgium contested the score, but it was given the nod by the video umpire.

South Korea scored two more quick goals to take control of the match.
