Speedy Tigers fail to make semis after draw with China

Malaysia were held 4-4 by the hosts at the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Stadium.

HANGZHOU: The men’s hockey team’s dream of clinching Asian Games gold was dashed when they missed out on the semifinals after being held to a 4-4 draw by hosts China at the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Stadium tonight.

Malaysia, who finished third with 10 points behind second-placed South Korea , will compete in the 5th-6th classification match against Pakistan on Friday. Taking to the field needing a win, Malaysia went on the offensive right from the start but it was China who drew first blood in the 13th minute through a penalty corner goal by Gao Jiesheng.

But a minute later, world No 22 China restored their lead through a Chen Qijun setpiece before Ashran Hamsani made it 2-2 with a field goal in the 25th minute.
