Despite their underdogs tag against Hungary, which is a well-known football playing nation, Pakistan looked quite in the match for most part of the game and commentators showered praise on Pakistan, who is yet to make its presence felt in the international football arena.
Pakistan players gave space to Hungary players to attack and conceded two back to back goals in 31st and 34th minute - scored by B. Bognár and R. Rábold respectively. However, the 4-1 final score-line doesn't do justice to the way Pakistan players played in the game.
Pakistan was the only country in Group 'H' who has never played in FIFA Football World Cup. According to assistant coach Gohar Zaman, Pakistan's participation in two back to back Socca World Cups and scoring goals against big names like Germany, Hungary and Slovenia is the biggest achievement for the country so far in the world of football in recent history.
He praised Leisure Leagues for making it possible for Pakistan to play in a football mega event, where 40 countries are featuring.
