Amstelveen (Holland): India came back from the dead to author a memorable 7-4 win against Pakistan in the 25th Champions Trophy hockey tournament at the Wagener Stadium on August 22.

In a fascinating contest that had the huge crowd on its feet, the Indians played the game of their lives to pump home five goals in the last 19 minutes for a win that would not be forgotten in a hurry.

Jugraj Singh (23rd, 35th), Deepak Thakur (51st, 65th), Prabhjot Singh (54th) and Gagan Ajit Singh (60th, 63rd) struck for India, while Pakistan's goals came from Rehan Butt (17th), Nadeem Ahmed (21st), Mudassar Ali (28th) and Sohail Abbas (43rd).

It was a bruising victory for the Indians as several players suffered injuries, notably Ignace Tirkey who was stretched off the ground. More significantly, it was the first time ever that India scored seven goals against Pakistan.
