Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 12:46 pm
BEIJING: Pakistan’s disappointing hockey campaign at the Beijing Games finally came to an end when they were defeated 4-2 against New Zealand to be placed at number 8th today.
This was Pakistans first ever loss to the Kiwis in the Olympics.
Earlier they also lost to Great Britain in the Olympics for the first time in 56 years.
Pakistan only managed to score two goals as New Zealand trounced the green shirts with utmost ease.
Lack of fitness and flair was eminent on the field as the kiwis tore through the Pakistani defense time and again scoring 4 goals.
Total humiliation was saved as Rehan Butt scored a late second half goal to grab some salvation for his team.
They finished 8th in the 12 team competition and have also failed to qualify for the next Champions Trophy.
