SANTIAGO, DEL ESTERO : The Netherlands outclassed Pakistan 7-3 in a 10-goal thriller at the FIH Pro League last Saturday, pulling away with a flurry of late goals after an already high-tempo contest.
The Dutch seized control in the second-quarter, striking three times in a six-minute spell.
Timo Boers opened the scoring when his low penalty-corner delivery was deftly deflected at the far post by Thijs van Dam.
Sustained pressure from Jorrit Croon soon drew Pakistan's defence deep allowing Guus Jansen space to shoot, with Thierry Brinkman re-directing the ball out of the air to double the lead.
The match opened up further in the final phase. A penalty stroke was awarded after Sufyan stopped a penalty-corner effort on the line, and Boers made no mistake from the spot.
Pakistan replied through a swift midfield move with Waheed Rana finishing low after meeting a driven cross inside the circle.
The Dutch then capitalised on late defensive lapses, with Croon left unmarked to sweep home on his backhand, before Sufyan struck a thunderous late flick to complete the scoring in a 7-3 defeat.
