Drag-flicker Diwakar Ram fashioned India``s emphatic 3-1 win over Pakistan with a spectacular brace as the hosts stormed into the 6th Junior Asia Cup final after a violent semifinal at Hyderabad today.
After Gurwinder Singh Chandi opened India``s account in the 15th minute, Diwakar Came up with twin second half strikes to take the game away from Pakistan. In between, Kashif Ali (42nd) reduced the margin for the visitors but in the end, it was just not enough.
The match took an disturbing turn in the 31st minute when a scuffle broke out among players following a brawl between Pakistani player Muhammad Irfan and Chandi. Soon, they were joined by other teammates and blows were exchanged, at the end of which Irfan, who was eventually shown the yellow card, was seen bleeding.
The umpires called both Pakistan captain Shafqat Rasool and his Indian counterpart Gurbaj Singh and the match resumed with Pakistan playing with just 10 members.
