I and my friends made a program to witness a hockey match.I was delighted to witness a hockey match between Pakistan and Germany at the Pakistan stadium recently.The players of both the teams showed qualities of strength,speed ,stamina,agility and mobility until the final whistle.The Germans dominated in the beginning but the Pakistani players fought back and coordinated remarkably.The Germans made strong attempts but Pakistani goalkeeper made spectacular saves.The match was suspended briefly when the home crowd fired crackers which caused a dense smoke all around.The Pakistani forwards kept the ball in their possession and played like a team.The only weakness,however,was in the striking of penalty corners.The team played with full devotion.Pakistan opened its attack mostly from the flanks but speed and timely interception of the Germans saved them. Our left half took the ball from the German attackers and after running up a few paces sent in a through pass to the inside left.He dispatched the ball towards the goal with a flick.Another Pakistani player who was closely following him,tapped the ball to score the goal.The crowd went wild with joy at the victory of Pakistan.
