Russel Mahmud Jimmy fired twice including a penalty for Bangladesh, which snatched victory with two goals in the last four minutes at the Al-Rayyan Hockey Stadium.

Oman led 2-1 at the break in a violent match that ended in Bangladeshi player Mamunur Rahman being stretched off the field after being hit by rival player Hossam Hassan's hockey stick.

"The Omanis were rubbish, they played a horrible game and were only interested in hitting our players instead of going for the ball," said Bangladesh captain Musa Mia.

Match technical officer Mudassar Asghar of Pakistan said he was going to report the incidents to the tournament committee.

"I have never seen anything like this," he said. "Someone could have been seriously injured out there."

With the scores 3-3 five minutes from time, Bangladesh showed more maturity and midfielder Zahidul Islam Rajan and Jimmy ensured victory with strikes in the 66 and 68 minutes.
