Interestingly, Pakistani players were also spotted in the stadium, wearing Pakistan tracksuits but cheering for China, holding and waving Chinese flags. Everytime there was an attack created by the Chinese team, the Pakistani team cheered their ‘favourite‘ team for the night. Pakistan’s shameful and cowardly act did not go unnoticed as netizens took to twitter to bash the Pakistani team collectively.

India win 5th Asian Champions Trophy
Meanwhile, India gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani team who were waving their Chinese flags by eventually winning the game in front of a packed crowd full of home crowd. Jugraj Singh was the difference between the two sides as he slipped in a cheeky ball supplied by Indian skipper Harmanpreet Singh. The Chinese team played with full spirit and grit to stop the Indian team from creating too many dangerous chances towards the goal.
