Pakistan Clinches Bronze Medal in the Asian Champions Trophy After a Dominant Victory Over Korea
Pakistan hockey team secured the bronze medal in the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy after a dominant 5-2 victory over South Korea.
The bronze medal match was held at the Moqi Hockey Training Base in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia, China, where Pakistan showcased its prowess. Sufyan Khan and Hannan Shahid each scored twice, while Roman Khan added another, sealing the win for Pakistan.
The result marked a strong finish for Pakistan, who claimed third place in the prestigious tournament. Sufyan Khan’s impressive performance, particularly his two penalty corner goals, earned him the Player of the Match title.
This victory provided a much-needed rebound for Pakistan, who had faced a tough loss earlier in the week. On Monday, they were narrowly defeated by host nation China in a dramatic penalty shootout.
That defeat allowed China to reach the tournament finals for the first time in history, making their advancement a notable achievement.
In the other semi-final, India defeated South Korea 4-1, advancing to the final where they are now eyeing their fifth Asian Champions Trophy title. India will face China in the much-anticipated final, with the hopes of lifting the trophy yet again.
Pakistan’s strong finish serves as a positive note, highlighting the team’s resilience and skill in what has been a competitive and thrilling tournament.
