Pakistan in last eight after 20 years, thanks to Arbaz

KUALA LUMPUR: Pakistan reached their first quarter-finals in 20 years in the junior hockey World Cup, thanks to debutant Arbaz Ahmad (pic, right).

The 19-year-old was as cool as cucumber as he converted a penalty corner in the 42nd minute to give his team a 1-1 draw against Belgium in the last Group D match and set up a match against Spain in the quarter-finals at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday.
