A final-minute goal from the heavens has helped the Hockeyroos top their pool and set up a quarter-final clash with a Chinese side powered by Australian hockey royalty.
Needing a two-goal win against Spain to leapfrog Argentina - and importantly avoid European dangers Belgium or Germany in a final-eight knockout - Australia started brilliantly as they laid the foundations for a 3-1 win on Saturday.
Mariah Williams beat two Spanish defenders with a wicked left-to-right aerial drag, then found Alice Arnott's stick with a pinpoint cross as Australia led after just 92 seconds.
