BHUBANESWAR: Germany beat Pakistan 2-0 on Sunday to win the Champions Trophy final in Bhubaneswar.
The German team defeated their Pakistani opponents comfortably during the final match.
Christopher Wesley scored the opening goal for Germany, while Florian Fuchs scored the second.
The final comes on the heels of a one match ban imposed on two Pakistani players by the International Hockey Federation (FIH)
Amjad Hussain and Tauseeq Ahmed were banned for misconduct after the Pakistan team’s 4-3 victory against India in a thrilling semi-final on Saturday.
Arslan Qadir was Pakistan's hero, scoring his team's first goal and also netting the winner 90 seconds from the end to silence a partisan 7,000-strong Indian crowd at the Kalinga stadium.
The victory enabled coach Shahnaz Sheikh's men to avenge the loss to their arch-rivals in the Asian Games final in South Korea in October that denied them a direct entry to the 2016 Olympics.
Olympic champion Germany knocked out five-time defending champion Australia 3-2 on Saturday to reach the final.
