Jan Philipp Rabente scored two remarkable goals, a brilliant solo opener in the 33rd minute and the winner after running around behind the net with five minutes to go.
“The first one was phenomenal, unbelievable,” teammate Chris Zeller said. “A solo run from Rabi. The second one came just at the right time so we just had to defend for five more minutes. It was good because pressure from the Dutch was immense.”
Mink van der Weerden equalized for the Dutch in the 53rd with his tournament-best eighth goal.
The Dutch had hoped to pull off the first Olympic double after their women beat Argentina 2-0 on Friday.
