Euro Hockey League January 1, 1970

EHL: Braxgata won their first ever Euro Hockey League match in dramatic style as they edged out two-time finalists Club de Campo de Madrid 4-3 in a shoot-out. Normal time ended 1-1 after Stephanie Vanden Borre’s penalty stroke gave the Belgian side the lead in the 22nd minute. But a beautiful interchange between Belen Gonzalez-Lagullo and Belen Iglesias saw Campo equaliser in the third quarter. And they had the chance to win it with four minutes to go when they picked up a penalty stroke but Elena Sotgiu got down low to save from Laura Barrios to keep it at 1-1. Brax duly took their second chance in the shoot-out Judith Vandermieren, Stephanie Vanden Borre and Louise Versavel all scored to make it 3-3 going into the last round. There, Berta Agullo’s effort was overturned on video referral as it crossed the line after the eight-second hooter. Sanne Caarls, meanwhile, took her chance to slot the winning shoot-out to win it and earn a place in the FINAL8 against Düsseldorf.
