Campaign ends with defeat
Bangladesh national hockey team wrapped up their training campaign in South Korea with a 1-4 defeat against their Korean counterparts in their fifth and final practice match yesterday.
The defeat means Bangladesh suffered four defeats alongside a draw and they will head to Jakarta for the Asian Games after returning home tomorrow.
Although Bangladesh notched up a creditable draw in the previous match, they failed to carry the momentum to yesterday's game and virtually surrendered in the first quarter by conceding three goals as Korea took the lead in the second minute before adding two more goals in the fourth and 12th minutes to take the match away from the visitors.
In the second quarter, the home side widened the margin to 4-0 before both sides fought neck-and-eck in the third quarter but no one could find the net.
However, the visitors struck a consolation goal in the final quarter with Rasel Mahmud Jimmy scoring from a penalty corner.
