Australia beat Pakistan four goals to three in Hamburg Master Hockey Tournament, the other day.

Both the teams started the match with some swift and aggressive hockey, however Australia dominated most of the proceedings while taking advantage in the first half over their opponents with 2-0 lead.

Pakistan played well in the second half to score three goals but at the end Australia were far ahead with a margin 4-3.

For Pakistan Muhammad Imran scored the first goal through penalty corner in the 37th minute and then in the 45th minute Shakeel Abbasi scored the second goal for Pakistan in the 47th minute. Then in the 53rd minute Muhammad Imran scored the third goal for Pakistan to put his team on a better position, however it could not stay for a long time as Australia scored their fourth goal in the 47th minute.

Pakistan were given ample opportunities for scoring goals, however failed to grasp them and Australia beat Pakistan 4-3. Pakistan has now lost three matches in a row to Germany, Holland and Australia thus continuing their disappointing performance in the prestigious tournament.

I am from Australia and play hockey. Who writes these headings in India and Pakistan? When did 4 goals to 3 become a "trouncing"????????????????????????????? What a stupid journalist! 4-3 is a dam close game!!

right on
I quote the article "at the end Australia were far ahead with a margin 4-3". Pakistan played an excellent game and fought to the wire and got pipped by one...that my hockey friends is a tight battle, not a trouncing.

Aust was up 3-0 at halftime... that's pretty one sided

Even though Aus was up 3-0 at half time if the game finishes 4-3 - thats real close, many a time have games swung the other way come the second half. Having watched the game - No way was this game one sided or a trouncing.

Poor Journalism
Obviously a 4-3 victory is not a trouncing! I read this news earlier but am writing this note after Pakistan has beaten Australia 4-3 in the Rabo cup. I think this particular article was either written in a hurry or without seeing the actual match.
