BANGALORE: Following humiliation at the hands of India, Pakistan lost once again conceding 4 goals without replying to Kuwait.
Shehzad Anwar’s team put on another appalling display to lose to Kuwait at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday, three days after losing to India in their SAFF Championship debut, a game they played barely six hours after landing in Bangalore.
The defeat all but ended Pakistan’s chances of advancing from Group ‘A’ and their fate was sealed when India beat Nepal 2-0 in the day’s other match.
“Our team definitely needs more experience [at this level],” Pakistan’s interim assistant coach Torben Witajewski told reporters at a news conference after the match.
“We need more matches as a team,” added the German with Pakistan having several foreign-based players in the squad.
Kuwait, one of two invited teams for the tournament, had opened with a 3-1 win over Nepal and they joined India in the semi-finals after an utterly dominant performance against Pakistan.
Pakistan will now try to salvage some pride when they face Nepal in their final group game on Tuesday with both teams looking to sign off with a victory.
