Amstelveen (Netherlands): Fanny Rinne scored in the last minute as Germany beat China 3-2 in the final of the Champions Trophy field hockey tournament on Sunday.
Rinne also scored an earlier goal and had an assist.
Her last-minute drag flick clipped the inside of the post, leaving China goalkeeper Pan Feng Zhen helpless.
It was Germany's first title at the six-nation international tournament.
China opened scoring in the ninth minute on a sprint by Fu Bao Rong down the left wing. Fu passed to Li Hong Xia at the last moment, who finished cleanly past keeper Kristina Reynolds.
But Rinne equalized for Germany two minutes later, on a diving shot from the top of the circle.
In the second half, China led again briefly when Ma Yi Bo scored after a penalty corner.
But Germany again equalised within two minutes, as Rinne crossed to Natascha Keller, who finished with her reverse.
