With it, the Germans lost the chance to claim their third straight gold medal. Argentina's Gonzalo Peillat scored three goals, all on penalty corners in the first half, to give his team a 3-0 lead. "That's their strength " to gain penalty corners and then convert them into goals," Germany's Florian Fuchs said. Even a world-class penalty flicker probably doesn't score so many." Germany salvaged a draw with Argentina during pool play when Mathias Muller scored on a penalty corner with eight seconds remaining.
