The green-shirts, who started off their Europe campaign on a winning note as on Tuesday they put up a gritty show to stun World No. 4 Netherlands 5-3 in the first Test.
According to information received here, the new-look national side, who produced an unthinkable performance in the first Test failed to repeat the feat as this time the tough European side was fully prepared to counter their attacks and exploit weaknesses.
Pakistan took lead in the first quarter when Abdul Manan netted a magnificent goal with the help of a short-corner. But afterward, despite putting up a gallant show the young Pakistan side could not plug in loopholes in their grey areas and the hosts took full advantage of that.
