Pakistan crush Korea

AFP, Athens
Rehan Butt scored a goal and set up another as Pakistan took a giant stride towards the Olympic field hockey semifi-
nals with a 3-0 win over Asian rivals South Korea here on Thursday.
The 23-year-old from Lahore, who missed a simple chance in the goalless first half, got into the act eight minutes after resumption when he deflected in a free hit from outside the circle.
Butt then broke through the Korean defence in the 56th minute and passed to an unmarked Shakeel Abbasi, who cooly pushed home.

Abbas completed Pakistan's emphatic win by scoring the third goal four minutes before the end.
Pakistan rocketed to the top of group A with six points from three matches, two more than Sydney Olympics silver medallists South Korea, who are on four.
World champions Germany, the strongest contender in the 'group of death', will move a point ahead of Pakistan later on Thursday if they defeat unfancied Egypt.
Pakistan, who lost to Germany before thrashing Egypt 7-0, need a win and a draw in their remaining matches against Spain and Britain to finish among the top two in the group.
"We deserved to win because we took the chances that came our way in the second half," said Pakistan's Dutch coach Roelant Oltmans.
"Rehan impresses me the more I see him play. He is a very intelligent striker who understands the movement of the ball.
"I don't want my team to become complacent. We must win both matches and then the main task starts when the semi-finals come."
South Korean manager Jeon Jae-Hong lamented the lost opportunities.
"We got three penalty corners, the same as Pakistan, but could not use them to get goals," he said.
"The team is not playing at its best. We were held by Spain and almost drew against Britain," he said referring to the narrow 3-2 win on Tuesday.
"A lot of hard work and some luck is needed if we are to move up."
Pakistan play Spain next on Saturday, while the Koreans take on Egypt the same day.
