Kookaburras goalkeeper Andrew Charter has starred in a tense men's hockey Olympic quarter-final over the Netherlands.
Taken to shootouts after scores were locked 2-2 at full-time in sauna-like conditions in Tokyo, Charter saved the first three Dutch attempts and the Kookaburras didn't miss.
Blake Govers, Flynn Ogilvie and then Tim Brand all held their nerve in their one-on-one contests to put Australia within one win of the gold medal game.
