The sound of the two national anthems rang out over the Riverbank Arena on a sultry evening in East London. The 27th meeting between Argentina and Great Britain was the much anticipated match of the day as the two sides vied for a place in the final of the women’s Olympic Hockey final.

Great Britain’s women’s team has never made an Olympic final; their best placing was third at the Barcelona Games of 1992. Argentina for their part has made an Olympic final but came undone against a very good Australian side in 2000. The game had all the early indications of being a classic game between the two sides.
