Twente only got 5 shots away and the only one on target was the goal, on which he didn’t have any chance. His pinpoint pass to Biraghi from a goal kick set up the second goal and he was completely unremarkable otherwise, given that he had nothing to do. Don’t sleep on his role in the second goal, either; to control that pass, turn, and ping a perfect ball over the top isn’t easy. Didn’t do much in possession and showed little guile on the ball, though, and seemed to contribute to the frantic nature of the second half. The second half is a problem for this team.

The minister further said the CPEC Authority Act would be repealed once the Chinese authorities give their consent. The decision to wind up the CPEC Authority is in line with the PML-N’s old policy that was never in favour of establishing a parallel set-up. The execution of the CPEC projects would be in the hands of the line ministries, he added. The previous PTI government had reluctantly enacted the CPEC Authority but it never filled the chairman’s post after Lt Gen (retd) Asim Saleem Bajwa’s resignation. Because of a delay in making the final decision to dissolve the authority, people had started lobbying for the vacant post of the CPEC Authority chairman.
