IPOH: Malaysia qualified for Sunday’s final of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament despite being outplayed 6-2 by defending champions Australia at the Azlan Shah Stadium.
It was Malaysia’s first defeat in the tournament but it hardly mattered as they pipped South Korea to the title playoff by scoring more goals, although both had the same goal difference. Both were tied on 10 points following Asia Cup champions South Korea’s 5-2 win over South Africa earlier in the day.
