In the final minute, Spain claimed two penalty corners but umpire John Wright consulted the disengaged umpire Simon Taylor and neither was awarded. GB players surrounded Wright in both cases, but they had already used their video referral.

Spain coach Dani Martin said: "It cannot happen that an international official changes his decision twice just because he is surrounded by opposition players. 

450 games and a goal: Teun de Nooijer - hockeyimages.co.ukLONDON, August 5 - The Netherlands completed a double with their men's hockey side joining their women's as the first teams to qualify for the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.

The Dutch overcame reigning Olympic champions Germany with an impressive 3-1 win. Germany may need a point against New Zealand on Tuesday (9.15pm) to qualify for the semi-finals, depending on the result of the earlier Korea vs Netherlands game (8.30am).

Double trouble: Spain's Santi Frexia who broke his arm against Pakistan on Monday has been joined on the casualty list by team-mate Pol Amat with a serious shoulder injury - hockeyimages.co.ukLONDON, August 1 - Spain's bad luck continued during a 5-0 defeat by Australia when they lost five-time Olympian Pol Amat to injury, two days after captain Santiago Frexia broke his left arm in their opening match.

The injuries to Amat and Frexia leave Spain without two key players who have almost 500 international appearances between them.

Australia were quicker to settle in the pool A match at the Riverbank Arena and earned a penalty corner in the third minute. Christopher Ciriello exchanged passes with Eddie Ockenden at the top of the circle before Miguel Delas blocked his shot off the shin to give Australia a second penalty corner attempt.

Captain for the day: Helen Richardson - pic Andy SmithThe Great Britain hockey team will be without captain Kate Walsh for their second pool match against Korea, taking place at the Riverbank Arena at 4pm today. 

Walsh spent a second night in hospital following surgery to have a plate inserted into a fractured jaw. The defender was injured in the second half of the opening match against Japan on Sunday, a match GB won 4-1.

Helen Richardson takes over as captain in Walsh's absence, a role she also filled in the Investec London Cup in June.

Walsh and fellow defender Crista Cullen were out of that tournament with injuries which gave coach Danny Kerry opportunity to experiment with alternative defensive pairings. 

Save: Francisco Cortes was in fine form in Spain's 1-1 draw with Pakistan - hockeyimages.co.ukLONDON, 30 July - Spain and Pakistan drew 1-1 in their opening men's hockey pool match at the Riverbank Arena on Monday, but the result came with bad news for Spain as captain Santiago Frexia injured his left wrist.

He was involved in a collision with Muhammad Irfan towards the end of the first half, received treatment on the sideline and left the field at half-time with his wrist on ice. He returned for periods of the second half with his wrist heavily bandaged, but was very limited in his movement.

The Great Britain men's hockey side have flown to Spain for their final competitve matches before moving to the London 2012 Olympic Games on July 22.

GB face India on Saturday night (4.30pm UK time) before an encounter against Spain on Monday evening (6pm UK). Spain are GB’s final pool match at the Olympics, so both sides will be looking to gain any pre-Games psychological advantage.
