India inflict humiliating 6-0 defeat on Pakistan
Greenshirts fail to convert chances at Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia
KARACHI:
Pakistan’s national junior hockey team lost 6-0 to arch-rivals India on Wednesday in their third match of the Sultan of Johor Cup at the Johor Baru Stadium, Malaysia.
With the win, India now have six points from three games, while Pakistan remain at the bottom of the points table with just one point from three matches.
India successfully converted one of their numerous penalty corners early on in the match, and scored again to end the first half 2-0.
The second half started with Pakistan desperately attempting to reduce India’s lead, but it was their arch-rivals who secured a goal again to make the score 3-0.
India's forward Harmanpeet Singh then took a penalty corner successfully to give India their fourth goal of the match. Two more penalty-corner goals followed in the last six minutes of the game.
India ended the match with six goals from nine shots at the goal, while Pakistan failed to score any goal from their four attempts.
"We missed each and every chance and also failed to stop India’s onslaught," said Pakistan head coach Manzoorul Hassan while talking to The Express Tribune. "We need to work on our finishing as well as penalty corners.”
