Pakistan’s coaches Saqlain Muhammad and Rehan Butt were understandably unhappy with at least a couple of umpiring calls that didn’t go their team’s way in their 0-4 defeat to India in the last league match of the Asian Champions Trophy at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium here on Wednesday.

“In the very second minute we scored a goal but the video umpire reduced it to a short corner instead. The on-field umpire rightly awarded a goal and it should have stood but we were unfortunate,” Saqlain told mid-day referring to the second minute of the game where Pakistan’s Abdul Shahid Hannan tapped in a ball that rose off India goalkeeper Krishan Pathak’s pads onto his body which was adjudicated as dangerous play by the video umpire.
