A disappointing end for the Red Panthers in the European Championship. Belgian women’s hockey went to Germany for no less than gold, but after the mediocre final match against the Netherlands, it continued to stumble in the most ungrateful place. The Panthers swallowed a goal against the clever Orange after just a minute and never recovered from that deficit after that. It became 3-1.

The Red Panthers could not shine in the final of the European Championship. They lost 3-1 to favorites Netherlands.
The Belgians had a disastrous start and were already owed two goals after five minutes. The defensive line that was lauded after the semi-final match against Germany was often superior this time around.
In the second quarter, the Panthers straightened their backs and quickly scored on a touchdown goal via Ray.
The Belgians showed themselves and took the lead, but had to score another goal before half-time. So the double Dutch advance became reality again.
After the break, the Orange team were always able to maintain their dominance and the Belgians showed very little.
In the end, the leopards tried to force something, but the goal of communication was no longer possible.
The Belgians should be content with silver and can go to Paris 2024 with ambition.
Dutch domination continues. Orange European champions for the fourth time in a row.
- vandermeerenWas it our worst game in the tournament? That’s how we feel. Our defense was very strong in this tournament, but today we weren’t on the agenda. That’s something we have to take with us in the future.

- Coach Erin“It was an exciting start and the goals were so clumsy. After that goal we started to believe in him again, but we weren’t at the top today. We knew we had to be like this to win.”
