Australia, the consecutively three times winner of the Champions Trophy and the present champion, found it extremely difficult to rein in Pakistan in their last pool match today. The first half remained goalless as the hosts could not breakaway the formidable defense of the Greenshirts who also kept the ball most of the time. Both teams missed several chances throughout the first half.
It was only in the second half that the hosts got a plenty corner which was fortunately converted into the only and winning goal of the match by Kieran Govers just twenty minutes befre the end of the match.
Well played Pakistan!!
