Exciting opening game of hockey: Germany emerges victorious with a score of 3-2 - World Cup Opening Match Drama: Germany Secures Victory over Opponents 3-2 in a Thrilling Hockey Game
Germany's men's hockey team pulled off a remarkable comeback against France, ranked 10th in the world, at the Euro Hockey Championship. After trailing 0:2 for much of the game, they scored a thrilling three-goal volley in the final 10 minutes to secure a 3:2 victory [2][5].
The match, hosted at Mönchengladbach's Hockey Park, saw France take an early lead through captain Goyet and extend it to 2:0 with a goal from Charlet [1]. Germany, however, refused to concede defeat and mounted a late offensive surge.
Justus Weigand [3] and Gonzalo Peillat [4] scored for Germany at 49' and 51' respectively, reducing the deficit to 2:2. Johannes Große [2] then netted a crucial goal at 54' to complete the comeback and secure the victory for the Germans [5].
France had shown promise, having secured a 1:0 win against Olympic champions Netherlands in the lead-up. However, Germany's resilience and ability to perform under pressure against a strong French side at home proved decisive.
The men's team will face England, the reigning world champions, on Sunday at 3:00 PM in a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final [6]. England started their campaign with a 5:0 win over Poland.
Meanwhile, Germany's women's team will play their first group game against France on Saturday at 6:00 PM (Magenta TV). This will be an interesting encounter, given France's history of never winning a group game against Germany at an EM before the match [7].
