Bangladesh beat Hong Kong in Asian Hockey first match

Sunday, 16 March 2014


Bangladesh made a flying start in the Islami Bank Asian Games Hockey Qualifiers outplaying Hong Kong China by 5-1 goals in their first match at the Maulana Bhashani National Hockey Stadium Sunday.
Bangladesh skipper, drag and flick specialist Mamunur Rahman Chayan slammed the first hat-trick of the meet. The other two goals were netted by forwards Mainul Islam Koushik and Hasan Jubaer Niloy, according to a news agency.
Bangladesh had to wait till the 24th minute to break the deadlock when Chayan scored his first goal. Nannu’s push and Sarwar’s stop was enough for Chayan who dragged the ball into the roof of the post (1-0).
Chayan dragged his second in 32nd minute (2-0) and the third in the 45th minute. The third one, however, was not a dragged one but a low push (3-0).
