 "Hockey World Cup 2023: Germany, South Korea book quarterfinal berths")
Bhubaneswar: South Korea stunned 2016 Olympic champions Argentina in the penalty shootout to book a quarterfinal berth, while Germany also reached the last eight stage after an easy 5-1 win over France in the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup here on Monday. The South Koreans, who had finished third in Pool B, won 3-2 in the penalty shootout after the two sides were locked 5-5 in regulation time in an entertaining and high high-scoring crossover match at the near-full Kalinga Stadium. They rode on an inspired performance from their 38-year-old veteran Jang Jonghyun, who converted two penalty corners. Veteran captain Lee Nam Yong, 39, was also among the scorers as he struck the equalising goal in the 56th minute while Kim Sunghyun (18th) and Jeong Junwoo (20th) scored the other goals for the South Koreans in the regulation time.
We move another step closer to the finals of FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela.
