'Day 6 of the Men Junior's Hockey World Cup in Delhi and its Quarter Final 2. Asian Champions Malaysia had been hugely impressive since the beginning of this Junior World Cup, and were pitted in this quarter-final against Asian rival Korea, who had shown strong character in their last pool match against India to come back from a 2-goal deficit and edge the local team out of contention.

First Half started slow for both teams as they found there feet into the game. Malaysia, wearing a brightly colours yellow top, struck first when a cross into the D was met by Shahril Saabah and Malaysia went 1-0 up. Malaysia kept up the momentum and could have added a second when GOVINDASAMY Kartik Govindasamy hit from outside the D hit off Shahril Saabah stick and hit the upright and was cleared out by LEE Mookyoung, keeping Korea in the game. However Korea struck back 6 minutes before half time when YOU Seungju scored from a Penalty Corner leveling the scores before the break.

Beginning of second period was somewhat messy, neither team wanting to give an inch and tempers flaring often. Malaysia had the territorial edge but could not capitalize on the opportunities they created and Korea where still keeping their heads above water going into the last ten minutes of the period.
Malaysia however were looking the most likely to win creating a number of chance. Syamim Mohd Yusof run towards the D resulted in a pass into the D which was met by Hafiz .
