Bhubaneswar : Having stormed into the semi-finals by beating title contenders Germany here on Thursday, the Belgium players and coach said their disciplined approach helped them beat a tough opponent in the quarter-finals.

"We did very good job against Germany in the match," Belgian coach Shane McLeod told reporters.

Skipper Thomas Briels said he is proud of his side's performance and believed their disciplined approach helped them beat a tough opponent in the quarter-final.

"We completely focused on the 60 minutes. We worked very hard and kept the structure okay till the end," said the captain.

Germany coach Stefan Kermas said their team committed some technical mistakes, which led to the defeat in the knockout game.
