Hockey Asia Cup 2017: Twitter reacts to India's resounding 4-0 demolition of Pakistan
The India vs Pakistan rivalry is no doubt one of world sport's most iconic showdowns, and this time was no different. With Pakistan needing a victory way more than India in order to keep their hopes for qualifying for the 2017 Hockey Asia Cup final alive, one would have expected a slightly more rounded performance from the Men in Green. The final result however, was a resounding 4-0 win for India.
Dhaka was the scene for a dominant Indian showing as four goals from a young and spirited side steered India to a seventh straight win over their arch rivals, highlighting the massive difference between the two sides.
While Pakistan may have had their moments in the first couple of quarters, their inability to keep a calm head under pressure was unfortunately one of the reasons why they completely disintegrated in the final couple of quarters.
