Germany defeats Spain for men's field hockey gold
BEIJING (AP) Germany's Christopher Zeller struggled on penalty corners throughout the Olympics, but he broke out of his funk to score the only goal in a 1-0 win over Spain in the men's field hockey final Saturday.
"It was no special thing," Zeller said of the goal. "The whole tournament, they (penalty corners) weren't good for me. Now, it was the right time to make the goal. Fortunately, we made it."
Zeller scored in the 19th minute, and captain Timo Wess led a suffocating defense that handled the rest.
