KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia came alive in the last two quarters to outplay Brazil 6-0 in the Group B match of the FIH Series Finals at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Coach Roelant Oltmans’ men went on the offensive from the first whistle by creating many chances but the Brazilians were equally fired up as they defended in numbers.Malaysia had the best chance to take the lead in the 10th minute but Muhd Fitri Saari’s shot from inside the semi circle hit the left side of the post.
