ISLAMABAD: Team Pakistan outclassed second-ranked in world hockey and Olympic champions Argentina by 4-1 in the Champions Trophy in Breda, Netherlands on Thursday. This is the first victory of Green shirts in the tournament. In the previous games, Pakistan team faced back-to-back defeats against India, Australia and the Netherlands. In one of the most impressive displays in recent years, Pakistan gained three points in the Dutch city. Pakistan started the match well as in the early games. They were seen losing concentration after sometime but not yesterday. The defence remained organised throughout and there were some breath taking moves up front especially in the last quarter. First three quarters was more or less evenly played. Both the sides had chances and penalty corners. A classic right side build up saw Umar Bhutta sending a back pass from the goal line inside the circle to Mohammad Irfan Jr, who standing in an ideal spot confidently put it in to put Pakistan into the lead in the 10th minute.
