Pakistan had a contrasting start to their second group fixture as Årvoll pulled ahead with an early strike in the first half. Green shirts kept creating chances but to no avail, until, Abdul Wahab struck one, just minutes before the halftime.
They didn’t slow down in the second half, and kept the momentum going as Tufail Shiwari scored the second and defining goal.
They did not give any chance to Årvoll IL to get back in the game and kept the lead intact until the final whistle.
Notably, Pakistan had a dominant start to their Norway Cup campaign as they blew away Frigg Oslo FK 11-1 by the scoreline of 11-1.
The national team pulled ahead just six minutes into the game thanks to a goal by Saud Ahmed. Abid Ali then doubled Pakistan’s advantage within a minute.
Saud and Abid then struck again respectively and put Pakistan in command with a 4-0 lead after just 15 minutes.
Scott McNol finally glimmered a ray of hope for the hosts when he pulled one back to reduce Pakistan’s lead to 4-1.
McNol’s goal, however, failed to change the fortune of the Frigg Oslo side as Pakistan struck twice in quick succession to go into the break with a 6-1 lead.
The Green Shirts put on an even more dominant show in the second half as they scored five more to their tally to finish at 11-1, the biggest margin of victory in the Norway Cup by now.
