minutes into the game. In the 9th minute Danish scored in a goal-mouth
melee after Sarwanjit's shot rebounded off the Malaysian goalkeeper. Shivendra
struck off a penalty corner India
earned in the 11th minute, when he sounded the board from the top of the
circle.
The hosts Malaysia
scored their first goal in the 40th minute through Mohd Amin Rahim, who
scored off a penalty corner.
However, Tushar Khandker made it 3-1 in the very next
minute. The goal was set up by Indian centre-half Sardar Singh with a
well-disguised reverse pass into the circle. Sunil collected it and took the
initial strike that the goalkeeper stopped. The rebound fell in front of Tushar
who slotted the ball in.
Mohd Fitri Saari scored another goal for Malaysia in the 58thminute. India
will now face Argentina
on Wednesday.
