Malaysia men open hockey accounts with victory


GLASGOW: A goal in each half was enough to give the cagey Malaysian men’s hockey team a 2-0 win over Canada.

Malaysia, who came under fire after finishing last in the 12-nation World Cup in The Hague, Holland, last month, got their goals through Ahmad Kazamirul Nasruddin (14th minute) and Izwan Firdaus Ahmad Tajuddin (69th) in their Group B match at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre on Saturday.
