Pakistan out from 2011 Rabo Four-Nations title race with a defeat from Germany 1-2
Yesterday, on July 1, the Greenshirts were beaten down by the German side by a disappointing 1-2 in the match played at the 2011 Rabo Four-Nations Hockey Tournament for men, being held in Amsterdam, the capital city of Netherlands.
With this defeat, Pakistan has now been knocked out of the title-winning race of the competition, whereas Germany has progressed one step ahead towards the medal wins.
The loss came across due to the failure of converting many potential opportunities that were missed in an unprofessional manner. Resultantly, Germany got benefited with a victory after a head-to-head fight during the match.
In the opening second minute of the match, Pakistan’s Muhammad Zubair shot a goal into the net. On the other hand, Germany hardly met an equaliser in the last minute of the first half, closing scores at 1-1.
In the second half, Germany was quite composed and came up with a lead score, when a striker scored a shot in the 43rd minute of the match.
During the rest of the play, Pakistan was found struggling for an equaliser, but failed to do so. As a result, Germany made it into the medal-taking rounds of the quadrangular tournament with a 2-1 victory over the Greenshirts.
In the other developments, the 2nd Under-16 summer hockey coaching and training camp for boys got initiated yesterday, on July 1, at the Olympian Iftikhar Syed Sports Academy (OISSA) in Karachi under the aegis of Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF).
A total of 170 camp attendants gave presence at the camp on the first day, which have been grouped into 14 teams and these teams have further been categorised into two groups.
These players were provided with free kits by the host academy, whereas hockey sticks were provided by the PHF.
Under the supervision of the chief coach Olympian Iftikhar Syed, the players will take part in a practice programme designed for them that includes three hours practice, six days a week in which they will be taught the sport’s very basic skills.
