In a once more crowded stadium, the Malaysian team could not provide the delight of victory to their spectators today as they took on the powerful Koreans.
Korea could not quite overrun the home team as they did the US boys yesterday, but a pair of penalty corner goals was enough to seal the deal and raise Korea's tally to two wins in the competition.
A fifth minute Moon Kyu Kang hit gave Korea an early lead, and while they weren't able to run away with it, they did manage to secure and defend it. Halfway through the second half, Yun Sang Jeong added a second goal to finalize the score.
Fired up by the vocal crowd, Malaysia fought tooth and nail but could not get back at the Koreans, who head into the night as table leaders in pool C with a comfortable cushion of six points, while Malaysia sit in the middle of the table with one win and one defeat.
