Pakistan played a draw match 1-1 against defending champions Korea today in the 10th edition of the men Asia Cup hockey tournament at Moulana Bhashani Maulana Bhashani Hockey Stadium Dhaka.
Pakistan has a very few chances to move further to play the semifinals of the event as they only have left one super 4 match against India now.
Pakistan again started the 1st quarter furiously against Korea where Ijaz Ahmed scored the first goal for Pakistan at the end of 1st quarter in 15th minute. Pakistan played attacking hockey throughout the match but unluckily did not manage to convert the attack into the goals.
In 2nd and 3rd quarter Pakistan kept attacking the Korean goal post but Korean defenders and goalkeeper played impressive game as they stopped many clear goal chances.
