:00:10. > :00:15.Passions are running high in the gold medal match between Argentina
:00:16. > :00:19.and Belgium, neither of whom have ever taken the Olympic title in
:00:20. > :00:25.men's hockey. Welcome to viewers on BBC Two.
:00:26. > :00:30.This time tomorrow, we will see Great Britain's women in the gold
:00:31. > :00:38.medal match. I will hand you back now to more commentary, because this
:00:39. > :00:45.is a fascinating match, Argentina leading 3-1.
:00:46. > :00:48.COMMENTATOR: Five and a half minutes left in the third period. Belgium
:00:49. > :00:55.need to score twice to force the penalty shoot out. No extra time. At
:00:56. > :01:00.the end of the hour, we ghostwritten the penalty shoot out. That happened
:01:01. > :01:04.earlier today in the bronze medal game -- we go straight to the
:01:05. > :01:08.penalty shoot. It was Germany that we watched Argentina dominate in the
:01:09. > :01:13.semifinal. The Germans were unable to find a way through. We didn't
:01:14. > :01:15.think they could do it against the reigning Olympic champions. They
:01:16. > :01:27.did, and they are replicating it again tonight. Lucas Vila can't
:01:28. > :01:34.quite read that one through, but it wasn't far off. Inventive and
:01:35. > :01:39.creative. The defence shifts with you. As he went, he knew he could
:01:40. > :01:57.chop it back left to right into the space. A promising move forward for
:01:58. > :02:06.the men in red. Free hit, taken quickly again. The Vivaldi kicks it
:02:07. > :02:18.to safety. Vivaldi, with a display of football skills. He had no idea
:02:19. > :02:21.what was in front of him. It was Thomas Briels in the heart of the
:02:22. > :02:39.circle who was looking for the touch.
:02:40. > :02:45.Argentina's defence has been so alert and awake. Everything that
:02:46. > :03:01.comes their way, they are dealing with at the moment. No goal. Van
:03:02. > :03:17.Doren was trying to find space. What a take-down from the overhead.
:03:18. > :03:42.Menini, wonderful work with the left hand controlling his movement.
:03:43. > :03:48.This is where Belgium need pace, through the midfield. Their behalf
:03:49. > :03:53.to come forwards. I think we are going to see a card, John White
:03:54. > :04:00.going to his pocket for breakdown of play. Free card given. Argentina
:04:01. > :04:15.down to ten for the next couple of minutes.
:04:16. > :04:21.Ms Lee is the man sitting it out. Can Belgium take advantage of the
:04:22. > :04:43.extra man? -- Agustin Mazzilli is the man sitting out.
:04:44. > :05:05.A sarcastic club from Mazzilli. His coat is suggesting that should have
:05:06. > :05:18.been a green card. This is the replay. Argentina are playing to
:05:19. > :05:22.this harmonious soundtrack that that fans are offering. It is just about
:05:23. > :05:30.a full house at Deodoro. We haven't seen this many fans in the stadium
:05:31. > :05:37.ever during these Olympic Games. Argentina love their hockey. It is a
:05:38. > :05:39.sea of blue and white opposite us, and a standard black, yellow and red
:05:40. > :05:54.alongside. Belgium have time for potentially
:05:55. > :06:24.one more attack on the Argentina defence.
:06:25. > :06:34.Oh, what I go! What an incredible piece of individual skill from
:06:35. > :06:38.Boccard. We saw him in the first half take down the overhead and lash
:06:39. > :06:41.it into the side netting. Not a goal, but with such power. That is
:06:42. > :06:46.one of the outstanding bits of brilliance of this game so far. Pick
:06:47. > :06:51.up, looks up, takes it to the air, one touch over, feet round,
:06:52. > :06:57.shorthand grip. Doesn't have time for a long swing. Look at the foot
:06:58. > :07:08.rotation here. Bang, past Vivaldi, what a goal! Gauthier Boccard
:07:09. > :07:12.scoring an astonishing goal. They bit of basketball, a bit of cricket,
:07:13. > :07:19.a bit of everything there. And that will take us to the end of the third
:07:20. > :07:32.period. Boccard strikes just before the end of the third quarter.
:07:33. > :07:38.CLARE BALDING: what a goal that was from Boccard. With 15 minutes left
:07:39. > :07:45.of this gold medal match, Argentina still lead, but only just. This time
:07:46. > :07:48.tomorrow, we will have one quarter left of the gold medal match
:07:49. > :07:52.featuring Great Britain. We will be bringing you live hockey from nine
:07:53. > :07:55.o'clock on BBC One. Great Britain's women are into the final for the
:07:56. > :07:59.first time, having beaten New Zealand in the semifinals. They are
:08:00. > :08:17.up against the Netherlands, who are going for a third consecutive title.
:08:18. > :08:22.It's a goal for Alex Danson! Great Britain are at the moment the top
:08:23. > :08:36.team in the Olympic tournament. It is a goal for Great Britain!
:08:37. > :08:47.Great Britain will go to the Olympic semifinal. They will face New
:08:48. > :08:54.Zealand. Alex Danson gets the first goal of the match! She's got it!
:08:55. > :09:03.Great Britain are in the Olympic final.
:09:04. > :09:06.It will be captain Kate Richardson-Walsh's final
:09:07. > :09:10.international match as captain, and she has held that post for 13 years.
:09:11. > :09:14.It was interesting that they celebrated, but only for a short
:09:15. > :09:18.time before refocusing. The gold is what they want. They picked up a few
:09:19. > :09:21.knocks in that semifinal. This is a tough sport. Here we go with the
:09:22. > :09:25.final quarter of the men's gold medal match.
:09:26. > :09:30.COMMENTATOR: IQ, Clare. What a goal that was just before the end of the
:09:31. > :09:38.third quarter from Gauthier Boccard. I think that was the best goal I
:09:39. > :09:45.have seen all tournament. We'll Argentina now be able to show the
:09:46. > :09:50.patience and the poor is they have shown in other games, or will they
:09:51. > :09:55.get a wobble with that goal? Will it start to fray them nervous? -- will
:09:56. > :10:06.it starts to fray them nervous? During the break, we have learned
:10:07. > :10:12.that the referral we talked about earlier was kept because the
:10:13. > :10:20.decision was not the penalty corner that was given, so Argentina are
:10:21. > :10:31.keeping their referral. The national umpires Association told us that.
:10:32. > :10:34.Thank goodness for social media! We have had problems with communication
:10:35. > :10:38.throughout the game between the umpires on the field and upstairs
:10:39. > :11:06.and into our headsets. It has not been up to its normal standards.
:11:07. > :11:14.Mazzilli putting pressure on again, coming back after his two-minute
:11:15. > :11:29.suspension. His legs will be fractionally fresher.
:11:30. > :11:36.Whilst Lopez was trying to hold a static position, he was still moving
:11:37. > :11:40.into that area of contact with the full-back. If one of the players had
:11:41. > :12:05.been static, they would have been given the decision.
:12:06. > :12:15.The aerial escape route is utilised once again. He took a knock. The
:12:16. > :12:22.cast on his foot suggests some kind of break. He twisted his ankle badly
:12:23. > :12:26.during the semifinal. It was nice that he could hobble out to join the
:12:27. > :12:32.celebrations when he knew he and Argentina were guaranteed medals. He
:12:33. > :12:35.will get a medal. He has been replaced, but there will be medals
:12:36. > :12:43.awarded to all those that have taken part.
:12:44. > :12:50.What a goal it was from Gauthier Boccard. They need a bit more magic
:12:51. > :12:56.like that, Belgium, to get back in this match and get level with
:12:57. > :13:00.Argentina and force a frantic ten minutes or so. It is such a
:13:01. > :13:05.difficult balance, the patients that Belgium have two show. If they force
:13:06. > :13:08.the ball into the circle when Argentina are static, they will turn
:13:09. > :13:13.it over and be susceptible to the counter. They were patient to get
:13:14. > :13:16.the ball to Boccard, but they have to recognise that it was an
:13:17. > :13:19.incredible bit of skill that created the goal. It was only the patience
:13:20. > :13:24.that created the position from which he ran. Good running here from
:13:25. > :13:59.Belgium. With Argentina in absolutely no
:14:00. > :14:06.hurry. Aerial ball again. The whistle had gone before he released.
:14:07. > :14:14.Agustin Mazzilli was setting up for the shot. He is tapping his stick as
:14:15. > :14:18.if to say that was what stopped it. John Wright blew the whistle
:14:19. > :14:26.immediately. A man of his experience reads the players and how they react
:14:27. > :14:41.to situations. Ten minutes left in the Olympic final.
:14:42. > :14:58.The Argentina defenders, hopping and jumping their way out of trouble.
:14:59. > :15:05.A huge chunk of space on the left, but it was closed down quickly by
:15:06. > :15:09.Ignacio Ortiz. The adrenaline will now keep the Argentinian front line
:15:10. > :15:16.running. They need to be careful. If they step to four on that front
:15:17. > :15:17.three of four get disengaged from the channels were open for the
:15:18. > :15:28.Belgians. That stand looks like it is moving
:15:29. > :15:39.from where we are sitting as the blue and white shirts sway from side
:15:40. > :15:58.to side. Tonight, such vision. -- Simon Gougnard.
:15:59. > :16:13.That was a beauty. Appeals for the penalty corner. No reaction from the
:16:14. > :16:24.umpire. What is he appealing for? He kicked it! Menini is in the circle.
:16:25. > :16:29.The Argentina attack is curtailed at the moment. Belgium will have the
:16:30. > :16:43.restart from just inside the corner. Argentina need to decide how quickly
:16:44. > :16:45.they are pressing on the defensive left. They are not be quick to get
:16:46. > :17:03.to the deep so that want. A fantastic soundtrack to this
:17:04. > :17:09.second half from the Argentina supporters. Van Doren lift its high
:17:10. > :17:18.for Belgium. It is high and out of danger and a few more seconds ticked
:17:19. > :17:27.by. Carlos Retegui, animated on the Argentina bench. Seven minutes away
:17:28. > :17:32.from coaching Argentina to the Olympic final for the first time in
:17:33. > :17:36.their history. In the 2014 World Cup he coached both Argentinian sides
:17:37. > :17:40.and he had to run between pitches to coach the two teams when the games
:17:41. > :17:44.overlapped. He is an ex-international player himself of
:17:45. > :17:52.some note. We know so much and he is passionate and his heart is on his
:17:53. > :17:57.sleeve, every minute of every game. Every attempt by Belgium to send the
:17:58. > :18:02.ball into the Argentina 23 has failed in this final quarter.
:18:03. > :18:11.Argentina returned the compliment, high and long and out of play. More
:18:12. > :18:15.seconds wiped off the time and more singing with the Argentina
:18:16. > :18:20.supporters. Gauthier Boccard who scored a brilliant goal brings it to
:18:21. > :18:32.his captain, John-John Dohmen, can he play a pot in getting Belgium
:18:33. > :18:37.level in the last six minutes? A collision, but play continues. That
:18:38. > :18:45.is not five yards, is it? A penalty corner. Are they going to video?
:18:46. > :18:49.Asking for a corner, looks like it. The umpires are talking to each
:18:50. > :18:52.other. Not five metres has been called by John Wright and the
:18:53. > :18:59.penalty corner has been awarded to Belgium. We see the free hit, free
:19:00. > :19:03.hit is given at some point there. Now there is the run and that is the
:19:04. > :19:05.tackle that is not five metres away and the players not making any
:19:06. > :19:26.effort to back away. So the options for Belgium here are
:19:27. > :19:36.lower Clyde Park, number 25, tangy cousins, prepared to execute the
:19:37. > :19:44.drag flick. This injection, pushed away, no luck for Belgium, Belgium
:19:45. > :19:51.two, Argentina three. They went to the Flippin. It was a straight
:19:52. > :20:08.dragged in from Luypaert. He has too much and it is deflected away.
:20:09. > :20:16.Argentina are now heading towards the Belgium circle. Another goal
:20:17. > :20:20.would put this beyond doubt. The thing that is really difficult for
:20:21. > :20:24.these players in this cauldron of noises to hear the whistle. The
:20:25. > :20:27.umpires will have to be a bit sympathetic because the players may
:20:28. > :20:32.not hear it when they blow and so the ball may get knocked away. They
:20:33. > :20:34.will have to be really smart and use their experience to read what the
:20:35. > :20:47.players are doing, deliberately or not. Argentina are aware of the
:20:48. > :20:55.danger from Gauthier Boccard. Pushed away by Vivaldi. Did he just touch
:20:56. > :21:08.that there was open legs and pivot and snatch clear in his own circle?
:21:09. > :21:18.Gauthier Boccard heads back to Felix Denayer. Not a great piece of skill.
:21:19. > :21:23.For a moment that it looked as though Tom Boon might take it all
:21:24. > :21:27.away and have a shot. They are asking for video referral,
:21:28. > :21:30.saying it had to foot in the circle but for me Tom Boon had a swing and
:21:31. > :21:45.miss but is it dangerous? They are asking for danger, so Boone
:21:46. > :21:53.has taken it to the air in a swing and a miss but nobody has reacted to
:21:54. > :22:01.it. It is thought. Now it is that they are asking for danger. No doubt
:22:02. > :22:05.there is an Argentina foot on the ball. The swing from Tom bone, he
:22:06. > :22:14.does swing and he does miss, but doesn't create any danger? No
:22:15. > :22:20.defender to me moves or flinches. I have a decision, a penalty corner,
:22:21. > :22:29.no danger. No danger. No danger seen by the umpire upstairs and so
:22:30. > :22:33.Belgium have a penalty corner. This time Tom bone is available to the
:22:34. > :22:40.Mansi could be the man to change things for Belgium here. Here's the
:22:41. > :22:45.penalty corner drag flick specialist, number 27 for Belgium.
:22:46. > :22:49.The conversation we had moments ago was that the question asked was
:22:50. > :22:54.about height ten danger which is correct but the video umpire is able
:22:55. > :22:58.to see the whole passage of play and comment upon it. John-John Dohmen
:22:59. > :23:05.will inject. Will it be Tom bone. Can he put Belgium level? Not for
:23:06. > :23:10.the first time of asking and there will not be a second opportunity,
:23:11. > :23:14.not this time around. He didn't get the drug away, it wasn't stopped
:23:15. > :23:20.clean, he had to pull it to its feet. He kicks it with the leading
:23:21. > :23:23.left toe and is penalised. It looked at the first instance like he was
:23:24. > :23:30.trying to spin the ball around his feet but it didn't get contact Annie
:23:31. > :23:41.had to improvise. The Argentina fans are singing again. They are into the
:23:42. > :23:47.Belgium circle. Flying in front of Vincent Vanasch. 20 minutes left in
:23:48. > :23:51.the gold-medal match and I wonder if we will see the last of Vincent
:23:52. > :24:02.Vanasch. The goalkeeper is heading on and Belgium are bringing an extra
:24:03. > :24:06.outfield player and taking Vincent Vanasch off the pitch. They will be
:24:07. > :24:11.without a goalkeeper for the last two minutes of the gold-medal match.
:24:12. > :24:21.Lewie Coyle iPad is the man in green. -- Lowick alloy pot.
:24:22. > :24:26.Belgium have to be so confident and just play with the back story. When
:24:27. > :24:31.they play with an extra man the danger is you are resident and you
:24:32. > :24:36.don't flow the extra forward. Belgium have three or four men in
:24:37. > :24:50.the circle. Here is Luypaert with the green shirt on.
:24:51. > :24:58.Van Doren shuffles forward and it goes back to Luypaert. Into the
:24:59. > :25:04.circle, turn and shot. Good work from Vivaldi. He has been called
:25:05. > :25:06.upon plenty in this final quarter. The Argentina goalkeeper and the
:25:07. > :25:15.pressure is alleviated one more time. Vivaldi makes a scramble
:25:16. > :25:20.saving front of his goal. What a spin in front of the circle from
:25:21. > :25:24.Sebastien Dockier to get to the goal. Our commentary position is
:25:25. > :25:28.shaking out. There is noise and excitement being generated by the
:25:29. > :25:34.supporters in blue and white who are under two minutes away from
:25:35. > :25:43.celebrating Argentina 's third gold-medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic
:25:44. > :25:46.Games. They denied the might of the Germans and the blue-and-white
:25:47. > :25:50.defence stood firm in the semifinal and can now keep its shape and can
:25:51. > :25:59.they suggest that putting 11 men in the circle and retain the ball?
:26:00. > :26:06.Belgium again, as Argentina come away down the left side. The whistle
:26:07. > :26:13.was blown, although we didn't hear it amongst the cacophony of noise.
:26:14. > :26:18.It is for Argentina 's benefit. That is wasted 20 seconds in a passage of
:26:19. > :26:24.play. Argentina will throw this away as far from their goal as they can.
:26:25. > :26:33.Gauthier Boccard pushes it forward. No way through. Now it is taken up.
:26:34. > :26:36.It came off a Belgium foot up according to the umpire. We are into
:26:37. > :26:46.the last 60 seconds of the Olympic final. Lucas Rossi ran his socks off
:26:47. > :26:54.in the second half. He is a big man, big unit. Argentina imposition --
:26:55. > :27:03.Argentina in possession. 30 seconds left on the clock.
:27:04. > :27:15.Oh, there is a wide-open goal here. There it is! Sits down in the goal,
:27:16. > :27:21.4-2. It was Agustin Mazzilli who has the simplest of opportunities
:27:22. > :27:28.presented to him by the lack of Belgian goalkeeper. It is all over
:27:29. > :27:32.now, Belgium are fading -- heading for a referral because they might as
:27:33. > :27:39.well, I guess, but I don't quite know what their complaint might be.
:27:40. > :27:42.I have no idea, it is just a poor choice of pass from bottom left and
:27:43. > :27:49.went for the weight than they had to go natural and Lowick Luypaert just
:27:50. > :27:55.doesn't execute. The suggestion is stick obstruction that is what they
:27:56. > :28:01.are asking about. They have gone upstairs. There is a suggestion that
:28:02. > :28:09.Luypaert -- that Agustin Mazzilli leads with his stick but it is not
:28:10. > :28:16.the case. Great celebrations for Carlos Lochte gay, and all around
:28:17. > :28:23.the Olympic hockey Stadium the blue and white fans and banners are
:28:24. > :28:27.jumping for joy. It is one of those risks, you go to know goalkeeper and
:28:28. > :28:32.someone executes poorly and that is all there was left. There was
:28:33. > :28:37.nothing Luypaert could do, he had to try and get across fields, the last
:28:38. > :28:42.three seconds and Argentina can celebrate at last. They are the
:28:43. > :28:50.Olympic hockey champions, with 4-2 victory over Belgium. What a final
:28:51. > :28:57.that was! Argentina start to celebrate in style on and off the
:28:58. > :29:01.field. Their injured player, Mateus Paredes is on to join the
:29:02. > :29:05.celebrations and he will get an Olympic gold medal as well. Silver
:29:06. > :29:10.will be scant consolation at the moment for Belgium. Possibly once
:29:11. > :29:15.the moment sinks in and they take their place on the podium. Gauthier
:29:16. > :29:20.Boccard had his time with a fabulous piece of individual skill to get
:29:21. > :29:25.Belgium 's second goal, but it is Argentina 's gold. They have played
:29:26. > :29:30.to their strengths and created goals. They have been exceptional
:29:31. > :29:34.throughout the whole competition and they have simply set their platform.
:29:35. > :29:37.Yes, they went a goal down but they had the intensity to come back and
:29:38. > :29:41.the belief to come back to create those three goals that meant they
:29:42. > :29:44.could play to the defensive strength and they didn't need to push forward
:29:45. > :29:52.and Belgium could come onto them and they have delivered.
:29:53. > :30:02.This is the way it unfolded. Cosyns was the first to strike. There was a
:30:03. > :30:05.magnificent goal from Gauthier Boccard, second for Belgium and it
:30:06. > :30:10.was one of the highlights of this gold-medal match, but unfortunately
:30:11. > :30:19.it was not enough for Belgium and it is Argentina 's Olympic time.
:30:20. > :30:28.A third gold at these Olympic Games for Argentina. You can see how many
:30:29. > :30:31.fans have travelled here. They were in the tennis match with Juan Martin
:30:32. > :30:35.Del Potro and they were celebrated at night but they are a, their first
:30:36. > :30:38.Olympic title in men's hockey at this time tomorrow we will know who
:30:39. > :30:44.will be champions in the women's game. Simon will be there. Do you
:30:45. > :30:47.have any updates on the injuries British players sustained in the
:30:48. > :30:52.semifinal? We saw Crista Cullen come back onto
:30:53. > :30:55.the field with eight stitches and we saw Georgie Twigg step back in with
:30:56. > :30:59.the ball to her face, the one person we don't know about right now is
:31:00. > :31:03.Helen Richardson-Walsh, we don't know, we saw her limp off after
:31:04. > :31:07.scoring a penalty stroke. The camp is pretty closed, they have been so
:31:08. > :31:10.tight in the competition that we have heard nothing so we cannot
:31:11. > :31:13.update you on that but the two players that got knocks and came
