Hinch replicated her shootout form that helped to secure gold in Rio five years agoMaddie Hinch sought to play down her latest Olympic shootout heroics, after another incredible batch of saves sent Great Britain into a semi-final showdown with the Netherlands. Goalkeeper Hinch repealed four Dutch penalties to seal the gold medal five years ago in Rio, and today repeated the trick in a quarter-final shootout win over Spain. SponsoredThe match ended 2-2, Spain twice coming from behind after goals from Hannah Martin and Grace Balsdon. Hinch then saved penalties from Clara Ycart, Begona Garcia Grau and Georgina Oliva Isern as Martin scored and Anna Toman missed for Team GB. There was high drama at Spain’s fourth, Beatriz Pérez Lagunas hitting the post before a re-award was ordered following a review.
