Bangladesh humiliated to India by 0-12 in Asian Games Hockey

Bangladesh Men's Hockey team ended their 12-nation 19th Asian Games Men's Hockey journey with a humiliating 0-12 goals defeat against India in their last Pool A match at the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Stadium in Hangzhou on Monday.

Bangladesh suffered their biggest defeat against India, matching the low set 41 years back, after their 0-12 goals defeat in the Delhi Asian Games in 1982, reports UNB.

But Bangladesh suffered their biggest defeat in their first appearance in the Asian Games in 1978 losing to Pakistan by 0-17 goals, followed by their 0-14 defeat against South Korea in 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.

With the day's well merited victory, India clinched the top slot of six-team Pool A to reach the semifinal with an all win record securing full 15 points from all the five group encounters while Bangladesh finished 4th in Pool A with six points beating Singapore 7-3 and Uzbekistan by 4-2 goals.
