KARACHI:
NBP defeated SSGC and PAF beat Punjab to register victories on the sixth day of the first Chief of Army Staff Challenge Hockey Cup at the Army Hockey Stadium, Rawalpindi on Tuesday.
SSGC, in the absence of Shakeel Abbasi, their only international player, failed to pierce through the bankers’ defence, giving way to NBP’s experienced forwards to capitalise on their weakness and end the game at 4-1.
NBP’s Dilber Hussain scored a field goal in the 13th minute, while Ali Shan dodged two defenders to double the lead in the 33rd and Atiq Arshad scored the third through his 38th-minute field goal.
SSGC replied through a solitary goal in the 51st minute when Rizwan Ali hit a cross to Abbas Haider, which was successfully converted. However, NBP put one more in through Shan in the 59th minute to make it 4-1.
In the other match of the day, PAF’s Samiullah opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Muhammad Adnan levelled the score through his field goal eight minutes later. However, Muhammad Mushtaq struck the back of the net in the 45th minute through a penalty corner to hand PAF a 2-1 win.
In today’s fixtures, Army Juniors will play Wapda, Army Seniors will face PIA and NBP will go up against Navy.
