(Reuters) - Pakistan’s hockey team manager Hassan Sardar said that repeatedly missing chances cost them a win against Malaysia and ended up splitting points in a 1-1 draw in the ongoing World Cup in India’s eastern Bhubaneswar city on Wednesday (December 05).
Sardar said that four-time champions had failed to capitalize on their chances in the previous match against Germany. The draw means that both the teams have a chance to go through to the quarterfinals and need to win their last game. In the other pool game, Germany came from behind to beat Netherlands 4-1.
Malaysia will face Germany while Pakistan take on Netherlands in their final pool game on Sunday (December 09).
