Malaysia 3, Korea 1:
Malaysia defeated South Korea 3-1 at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh tonight.
It was a much improved performance by the Malaysians who were staring at the wooden spoon before this match but can now make the placing matches if the defeat Pakistan on Saturday.
Korea were awarded a penalty stroke in the 8th minute, a rather harsh decision by umpire Satoshi Kondo.
Mohd Shukri Abdul Mutalib was adjudged to have fouled Korea's You Hyo Sik but it looked more like a dive on replays. But it was poetic justice as keeper S. Kumar saved the stroke taken by Jang Jong Hyun.
Malaysia was awarded a penalty corner in the 13th minute but Hafifihafiz Hanafi deflected the shot by Mohd Razie Abdul Rahim way over the bar.
