Germany have won three golds in the history of the men's hockey event

Germany will face the Netherlands in the final of the Olympic men's hockey competition after they came through their semi-finals on Tuesday.

The Netherlands, the world's number one side, scored in each quarter as they cruised to a 4-0 victory against Spain.

Germany faced a sterner test against India, emerging 3-2 winners against the side they beat in the bronze-medal match in Tokyo three years ago.

Marco Miltkau scored the winner for Germany six minutes from time after Sukhjeet Singh levelled the tie shortly after half-time.

The medal matches will take place on Thursday at Yves-du-Manoir Stadium.
