Unlucky losers...published at 23:09 British Summer Time 22 August 2019
The Netherlands and Germany are both more used to contesting finals at the EuroHockey Championships than the third-place match.
Germany have won the title a record seven times, while the Netherlands were reigning champions going into the tournament, having won in both 2015 and 2017.
They were both knocked out of this year's competition in high-scoring semi-finals.
The Dutch lost 4-3 against unfancied Spain, while Germany let a two-goal lead slip on their way to a 4-2 defeat against hosts Belgium.
