The Aussies have held the title since 2008, winning five successive titles, while the Markus Weise’s team had not won a medal since Melbourne in 2009 but they continue to grow as this tournament progresses. They built a 3-0 lead by the early stages of the second half and while Australia fought back, they had just enough in the tank to get over the line.

The Germans got off to a dream start with two goals in the first nine minutes. Timur Oruz got a lovely feathered touch to a diagonal pass from Lukas Windfeder. Mats Grambusch then extedned the lead when the ball bounced back to him after the Kookaburras struggled to clear their lines.
