Drag flicker Gonzalo Peillat justified his newfound German citizenship with a fine hat-trick as Germany shocked World No. 1 Australia 4-3 in the first semi-final at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. Argentina’s Rio Olympics hero, Peillat switched nationality to Germany last February after a fall out with the Argentine team management.
