Photo: ReutersIt will take a long time for New Zealand to get over their shattering stumble against Germany at the Rio Olympic men's hockey tournament yesterday. New Zealand lost it at the death, the winner from Florian Fuchs coming with a blink over one second left in the match. Being down to 10 men, with Nick Wilson carded for the final two minutes, didn't help. Germany had surrendered their goalkeeper, playing 11 outfield players in those final minutes. New Zealand were never outclassed in Rio and finished up playing to their world ranking.
