At the start of day 7, both Spain and Belgium had it all to play for with both sides needing the win to keep them in contention in Group A.

It was soon evident that it was to be Belgium's day though, when Cosyns opened the scoring inside 13 minutes through a penalty goal. A second penalty goal followed three minutes later with, this time, de Saedeleer converting well. The Belgium pressure continued and the Red Lions were creating good chances seemingly a will, culminating in a goal a minute from half time with Stockbroekx turning well to create space for the shot and firing in well.

In the second half it didn't take long for Belgium to continue where they left off in the first and they scored inside the first 3 minutes of the half, Cosyns adding his second from a penalty corner. The fifth from Belgium followed 10 minutes later, when Boon's shot from a penalty corner was saved, Dohmen was on hand to knock in the rebound and make it 5. Credit to Spain though as and two late goals gave the score a more respectable look to it. The first a penalty goal by Tubau and the second a lovely flowing team move finished off from close range by Santi Freixa..
