Aurangzeb Baba’s inspiring hat-trick helped Pakistan crush Mauritius 3-0 and storm into the quarter-finals of the 2014 Street Child World Cup in their third Group Three match in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Apart from the three goals, the team showed excellent form in goal-keeping as captain Sameer Ahmed stopped a penalty-kick to ensure the win for the country.
The team has now scored 18 goals in three matches without conceding even a single goal in the tournament so far. A staggering achievement by any standards.
They are scheduled to play their last group match against the US, who have also won their previous three matches. Pakistan and the US are the top teams in the group, which also featured defending champions India and Kenya.
