Yesterday, Razie Rahim and Faizal Saari were on fire for Malaysia as they thrashed Bangladesh 8-1 in their final Group B match.
“From seven penalty corners, we scored four from three different players – Faizal, Razie and Najmi. This augurs well for the team. The next stage is a different ball game.
Razie scored his second hattrick while Faizal also found his scoring touch as Malaysia warmed up for the crucial super four stage.Defender Razie proved yet again why he is the most valuable player for the Malaysian Tigers as he scored the first goal through a penalty stroke in the fo 英超 urth minute and hammered two penalty corners in the 14th and 30 minutes to continue his scoring spree.

India’s passage into the super four meant that Pakistan were eliminated in the group stage, allowing not just Malaysia, but Japan and South Korea to also confirm 英超直播 their World Cup spots.
Arulselvaraj is also happy with the penalty corner ratio by the team and wants his players to make full use of every opportunity. “We must score every penalty corner. The ratio is going up as the players are studying the defensive structure of the opponents and the strength of the players.”
PETALING JAYA: India gifted Malaysia with an early spot in the World Cup as they scored a thumping 16-0 victory over Indonesia to check into the super four of the Asia Cup in Jakarta.
That effort guaranteed them a spot in the 2018 World Cup, also in Bhubaneswar, and the Tigers can use that as an inspiration to repeat the feat in Jakarta.
“Our mission in the Asia Cup is to win every match. We have achieved that (in the group stage). This will increase the players’ confidence and better teamwork,” said Arulselvaraj.
Nazmi Farizal Jazlan and Ashran Hamsani also joined the party by scoring a penalty corner in the 41st minute and a 59th minute field goal respectively to help Malaysia top the group with three wins from three matches.
Faizal was equally on form yesterday when he scored his own hattrick with field goals in the 24th and 46th minutes as well as a penalty corner conversion in the 31st minute.
National coach A. Arulselvaraj was happy with the commitment shown by the players in the group stage but stressed the drama was just beginning to unfold with the start of the super four stage tomorrow.
Go for the kill: Ashran Hamsani dribbling past a Bangladesh player. He scored NBA直播 the eighth goal in the 59th minute.
The brilliant effort saw Razie topping the scoring chart with eight goals at the conclusion of the group stage.
