Reigning Olympic champions the Netherlands defeated Argentina 3-0 in the women’s hockey semifinals at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday as midfielder Luna Fokke came off the bench to grab a goal and an assist in the second quarter.
The Dutch have reached every final since missing out at the 2000 Sydney Games, when they finished with a second consecutive bronze, and have a chance to make history for the country if both women’s and men’s teams win gold for the hockey powerhouse.
Belgium and China meet in the second semi later on Wednesday to determine who faces the world’s top-ranked side, who will be playing in their sixth consecutive final, after both lost to the Dutch in the pool stage having conceded three goals.
