Pakistan tackle S.Korea today

Published August 19, 2004

ATHENS, Aug 18: Pakistan will meet South Korea in a crucial third Olympic hockey pool 'A' match on Thursday at 0730 GMT. The green shirts have three points from two games after a 1-2 defeat by world champions Germany in the opening tie and a convincing 7-0 victory over minnows Egypt on Tuesday.

Earlier on Tuesday Spain gave Germany a big fright before the world champions forced a 1-1 draw in the Olympic men's hockey competition at the Helliniko stadium. The Germans were relieved after Christoph Bechmann squared Santiago Freixa's 28th minute goal with six minutes to spare. -AFP
