With scores tied 3-3, all hell breaks loose in India-Pakistan game
The India-Pakistan encounter of the tri-nation tournament near Perth, Australia on Saturday had all the making of a classic for most part of the game. But a bizarre end relegated the 3-3 drawn tie to the Hall of Shame. A dying minutes altercation between rival midfielders Shafqat Rasool and Gurbaj Singh triggered a free of all between the players from both the sides. This resulted in bruises and cuts to players on either side with Gurbaj needing a couple of stitches to his head wound.
At the time when the game took this violent turn, it was still a minute and 35 seconds for the game to end. Not quite happy with the conduct of the Indian players or the officials, the Pakistan team were not keen to continue with the game. Even when they were forced to take field by the organisers, they refused to roll the ball and restart the game. They waited for the final hooter to go off and trudged off the field once it did.
