Bangladesh wins Bronze in Hockey
Bangladesh staged a brilliant comeback to score a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Sri Lanka to reclaim the bronze medal in the hockey event of the 11th South Asian Games on Sunday 07 February 2010.
Bangladesh successfully negated its first half deficit and emerged winner when Ashiquzzaman and Mamunur Rahman Chayan scored goals in the second half of the third-place play-off match at Moulana Bhasani National Hockey Stadium in Dhaka.
It was a sweet revenge for the hosts who lost their bronze to the same opponents in 2006 Colombo South Asian Games.
Bangladesh coach Gerhard Peter Rach said it was the outcome their hard work. “We worked hard to regain bronze. It was our commitment. Boys put a lot of efforts and got the reward. It would have been more happier for me if we would have won the silver,” the German said.
