Australia were handed a Dutch materclass in passing and skill in their 5-1 drubbing in the semi-final of the Hockey World League on Thursday.

The Netherlands struck three field goals while two came off penalty corners in what was the most dominating performance of the tournament in Antwerp, Belgium.

The fifth goal, a stunning effort from Willemijn Bos who ran in from the halfway line, summed up the day for a brilliant Netherlands side.
