Spain will be out to recreate history when it takes on Serbia in the gold-medal final on Saturday night. Spain trailed for much of the first quarter before drawing level at halftime and scoring three go-ahead goals to win the encounter. The USA began the better of the two with two with KRUMPHOLZ on extra and then POWERS who received a long pass on to the hand on the far post to score. MOLINA drilled from the top to round out the first quarter. GARCIA showed why is one of the best players here with a shot from the top for 2-2. BAILEY used his bulk to score from two metres but PERRONE scored from deep left for 3-3. AZEVEDO scored his 10th goal of the tournament on counter but GARCIA was at it again, spoiling the USA’s party with a pile-driver from the top. MOLINA took Spain ahead for the first time at 2:59 of the third period with POWERS replying for 5-5 at the close of the third. PEREZ, the sleeping giant, emerged with a score off the post on extra at 631 for 6-5. The USA squared the game on extra when HUTTEN received the last of three swift passes on the far post to score at 4:19. MOLINA struck again at 3:38 on extra when Spain received two shots after MOSES deflected the first attempt. The USA went to a timeout with a minute to go but lost the ball. With 25 seconds left the USA regained the ball and employed two centre forwards. Spain went into power defence and the final shot came from the hard-working BEAUBIEN but AGUILAR stopped it and the game was over.
