Netherlands v Germany, gold medal match in hockey.
Down to a penalty shoot-out. I really like the format they use for shoot-outs here. It's so much better than soccer. It's still a bit of a weird minigame and divorced from the core of the normal game, but it feels a lot closer to normal play than in soccer. And it makes the whole thing so much more intense and captivating to watch.
If you prefer the hockey shootout over penalties in football, better get a time machine (and an airplane perhaps) and go watch the MLS in the 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNExAtWu0CU
