Hockey team's woes continue
Bangladesh suffered another humiliating 9-0 defeat against giants South Korea in their last Pool A match of the 8th Asia Cup men's hockey tournament in Kuantan, Malaysia yesterday.
World number five South Korea dominated the first-half 4-0 against 34th ranking Bangladesh.
The comfortable victory took South Korea into the semifinals from Pool A while the winners of the Japan-Malaysia match will qualify for the semis from the same group.
On the other hand, this was the third consecutive defeat for Bangladesh in the meet after losing 5-0 against Japan and 7-1 against hosts Malaysia.
Bangladesh, who left the country with high hopes of beating at least Japan, have been eliminated from the race with a frustrating result conceding 21 goals against one.
Bangladesh will now play the 6th place-deciding match against the bottom team of Pool B comprising of India, Pakistan and China.
