Pakistan’s Sohail Abbas converted one penalty corner in the 60th minute to bring a sigh of relief which went in vain just after Man of the Match Sandeep scored his second goal. India dominated the second-half of the match also when Prabhjot Singh scored the third goal as the hosts took 3-0 lead. In the first-half, Sandeep Singh gave India an upper hand as he converted one penalty corner to a goal to give India 2-0 lead in the 35th minute. Earlier in the 27th minute, India took a 1-0 lead over arch-rival Pakistan when Shivendra Singh converted one penalty corner. The World Cup clash between India and Pakistan got underway with the hosts missing their first choice goalkeeper Adrian D'souza, who has been replaced by PR Sreejesh. The two nations, which ruled world hockey for years, are now shadows of their past, but they still evoke a lot of tension, excitement and suspense both on the field as well as in the overflowing galleries. The recent track record of the two teams gives Pakistan a definite edge, their staggering 6-3 victory in the Champions Challenge semi-final in Salta, Argentina, staring India in the face. The Indians know that Sunday is a different day and it is going to be a different ball game altogether playing at home.

ludhianvi Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 It was a great match. India even though 4-1, missed a lot of chances. And I see that Indian players still like to hang on to the ball a little too much.

Mr Eintstein Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 shouldn't this be in the "other sports" section?
Cricketics Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 It was a very one sided game but it was far from boring. Since India was playing, interest was always there plus both India and Pakistan kept making chances to get some goals but kept missing at the same time. Fun game it was.
