After two humiliating defeats, conceding 9 goals, Malaysia finally found their moment of glory, defeating South Korea 2-1 to claim their first win of the Women's Asian Champions Trophy 2024 today (November 14, Thursday) at the Rajgir Hockey Stadium. (Match Highlights)

It was not only a dramatic, but also a beautiful day for Malaysia in Bihar. After suffering heavy defeats to kick off the season--starting with a 0-4 loss to the hosts, India, followed by a humiliating 0-5 defeat against China--the Malaysian team finally secured their moment of glory. For South Korea, it marked their third consecutive winless match.

South Korea first ended in a 2-2 draw with Japan in their opener and then suffered a narrow 2-3 loss to India in their second match.

Today, in their third match, the Koreans started strong, taking the lead in the first quarter with Captain Eunbi Cheon opening the goal tally.

The lead held until the third quarter, when Malaysia, after several missed attempts, found their breakthrough with Mohd Khairunnisa scoring the equalizer.

Then, in the fourth quarter, came what the Koreans feared most—Malaysia took he lead! Nur Mohammed struck to give the girls in yellow the advantage, witnessing their first victory of the season.

In their next fixtures, Malaysia will face Japan on November 16, Saturday, while South Korea will take on Thailand on the same day.
