Last chance saloon for Malaysia to salvage pride


The Malaysian fans do not have much to celebrate at the hockey World Cup at The Hague as the national team have lost all four of their matches so far. Their last Group A match is against Spain on Monday. - SS KANESAN/ The Star

THE HAGUE: There will be more pain for Malaysia if they fall to Spain in Sunday’s final Group A clash at the hockey World Cup here in Holland.

Malaysia, last in the group with no points after four matches, need to win the match if they want to realise their target of a 10th placing.
