JOHOR BAHRU: Pakistan’s junior hockey team secured a spot in the final of the Sultan of Johor Cup after battling to a 2-2 draw against Japan in their final round-robin match at the Taman Daya Hockey Stadium on Friday.

Hamza Fayyaz opened the scoring for Pakistan in the 34th minute, followed by Ghulam Mustafa’s equalizer in the 43rd minute, as the team twice came from behind to clinch the draw. Both teams concluded the league stage with seven points and an identical goal difference of plus eight, but Pakistan advanced to the final based on a superior goals-scored record, netting 18 goals compared to Japan’s 16.

This performance highlights the resilience of the Green Shirts, who finished the preliminary round with two wins, one draw, and one defeat. Earlier, they triumphed over China with a commanding 8-3 victory and defeated Canada 6-2, although they faced a narrow 3-2 loss to the hosts, Malaysia.
