Blake Govers scored Australia’s goal in the 12th minute to give them a 1-0 lead. In the second quarter, Pakistani players tried valiantly to get an equalizer, but to no effect. When Jeremy Hayward gave his team a 2-0 lead in the 19th minute, Pakistan’s problems multiplied. In the third quarter, Hayward made another goal, his second of the game and third overall.
The Pakistani players were helpless to halt the Australians’ charge, and in the 42nd minute, Tom Wickham increased the score to 4-0. Just two minutes into the fourth quarter, Wickham scored again to increase the margin to 5-0. Jacob Anderson’s goal gave Australia a 6-0 lead in the 53rd minute. In the second-to-last second of the game, Nathan Ephramus threw the ball into the goal for another score.
No real expectations of a medal in hockey, but a 7-0 defeat against Australia is highly disappointing. Pakistan have dropped to No. 18 in the world and Australia remain No. 1. Back in the day, there used to be competitive hockey but it has just become a formality now. #CWG2022
