PETALING JAYA: A third quarter wobble almost spoiled a brilliant day for the Speedy Tigers who hung on valiantly to edge South Korea 5-4 to seal a super four spot in the Asia Cup.
Leading 4-1 in the third quarter in Jakarta yesterday, the Malaysians lost their focus and possession to allow the four-time champions to stage a fightback and reduce the deficit to 4-3 before a late penalty corner goal from Razie Rahim (52nd minute) gave the Tigers a breather at 5-3.
