New Zealand v Germany 1-3
New Zealand fought back against Germany and the teams offered us as an excellent and close match.
Group D

Hungary v Denmark 2-11
Hungary started well and got a 2-1 lead in the beginning but after Denmark got the hold of the game, there was no chance for Hungary to bounce back.
