The action-packed encounter saw Arun Sahani (11\u2019), Poovanna CB (42\u2019), and Captain Uttam Singh (52\u2019) score for India while Sufyan Khan (33\u2019), Abdul Qayyum (50\u2019), and Captain Shahid Hannan (57\u2019) scored for Pakistan to end regulation time at 3-3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The penalty shootouts went all the way to sudden death as India\u2019s goalkeeper Mohith H.S denied Pakistan Captain to clinch Bronze with a nervy 6-5 shootout win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The game started with both teams cautiously probing for chances. Pakistan\u2019s goalkeeper Ali Raza was called into action halfway through the first quarter, as Gurjot Singh stayed alert in the circle and unleashed a reverse shot that sailed just wide of the post. As India looked to press for the opening goal it was Arun Sahani who stepped up to deflect Rohit\u2019s searching pass into goal. Pakistan was under pressure towards the end of the quarter with India creating a couple of chances and forcing Ali Raza to save.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan attempted to retain possession in India\u2019s half in search of an equaliser in the second quarter, earning two penalty corners but failed to capitalise on either of them. Meanwhile, India kept the Pakistan defence on their toes with the occasional counterattack. However, neither team managed to change the scoreline in their favour heading into the second half.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan\u2019s hard work bore fruit in the second half with Sufyan Khan slotting the ball into Mohith HS\u2019s net from a penalty corner. A period of Pakistani dominance followed but the Indian defence remained resilient. With three minutes left in the quarter, Poovanna CB flicked the ball into goal after a missed penalty corner to restore India\u2019s lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the last quarter, Pakistan seemed determined to equalize again, pinning India back in their own circle. As the pressure continued to mount it was Pakistan\u2019s Abdul Qayyum who breached India\u2019s goal to bring the teams back on level terms. But India flipped the switch, taking the game to Pakistan and it wasn\u2019t too long before Captain Uttam Singh scored from a chaotic penalty corner, to make it 3-2. Pakistan threw in the kitchen sink in their search for an equaliser, creating numerous penalty corners and it was Pakistan Captain Shahid Hannan who made 3-3 with his goal at the end of the regulation time, taking the game to penalty shootouts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan\u2019s Arshad Liaqat, Hannan Shahid, Abdul Rehman, and Ahtisham Aslam found the back of the net in the penalty shootout while Vishnukant Singh, Rajinder Singh, Angad Bir Singh, and Uttam Singh answered back with goals of their own to take it sudden death. Vishnukant Singh and Arshad Liaqat converted their respective chances in sudden death, although, after Angad Bir Singh converted his chance India\u2019s keeper, Mohith HS shadowed Shahid Hannan perfectly to tackle him and sealed the glorious victory for the Indian Junior Men\u2019s Hockey Team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/indian-jr-mens-hockey-team-clinches-bronze-at-sultan-of-johor-cup-beat-pakistan-6-5-in-shootout.jpeg", "alt_img": "Indian Jr men's hockey team clinches Bronze at Sultan of Johor Cup; beat Pakistan 6-5 in shootout", "alt_title": "Indian Jr men's hockey team clinches Bronze at Sultan of Johar Cup; beat Pakistan 6-5 in shootout", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Indian Jr Men's Hockey Team Clinches Bronze At Sultan Of Johor Cup; Beat Pakistan 6-5 In Shootout On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Indian Jr Men's Hockey Team Clinches Bronze At Sultan Of Johor Cup; Beat Pakistan 6-5 In Shootout, Pakistan Captain Shahid Hannan: The Indian junior men's hockey team defeated Pakistan 3-3 (6-5 SO) in a hard-fought 3rd\/4th place.", "seo_keywords": "Indian Jr, Johar Cup, Johor Bahru, The Indian, Johor Cup, Arun Sahani, Poovanna CB, Captain Uttam Singh, Sufyan Khan, Abdul Qayyum, Captain Shahid Hannan, Pakistan Captain, Ali Raza, Gurjot Singh, As India, Mohith HS, But India, Pakistan Captain Shahid", "tag": "", "tagging": "Indian Jr, Johar Cup, Johor Bahru, The Indian, Johor Cup, Arun Sahani, Poovanna CB, Captain Uttam Singh, Sufyan Khan, Abdul Qayyum, Captain Shahid Hannan, Pakistan Captain, Ali Raza, Gurjot Singh, As India, Mohith HS, But India, Pakistan Captain Shahid", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "indian-jr-mens-hockey-team-clinches-bronze-at-sultan-of-johor-cup-beat-pakistan-6-5-in-shootout", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "782", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-11-04 19:14:03", "updated": "2023-11-04 19:14:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Indian Jr, Johar Cup, Johor Bahru, The Indian, Johor Cup, Arun Sahani, Poovanna CB, Captain Uttam Singh, Sufyan Khan, Abdul Qayyum, Captain Shahid Hannan, Pakistan Captain, Ali Raza, Gurjot Singh, As India, Mohith HS, But India, Pakistan Captain Shahid", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-04 19:14:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "hockey", "cnmid": "818252", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/indian-jr-mens-hockey-team-clinches-bronze-at-sultan-of-johor-cup-beat-pakistan-6-5-in-shootout-10112" }
