We are underway at the Moqi Training Base in Hulunbuir. All eyes will be on the tournament's top goal scorer Yang Jinun. Can he produce yet another of his performances to help South Korea clinch one of those semi-final spots up for grabs?

Guess who? And yes, you're right! South Korea lead and it is Yang Jinun again. The Koreans earned an early penalty corner in under three minutes of the match, and it is converted. 1-0 South Korea!

The Koreans are on the attack again, catching Malaysia off guard. They seem to have taken a fearless approach and have already penetrated into the Malaysian circle thrice, with four minutes to go in the first quarter.

The Koreans continue to attack in the second quarter of the match. However, the score remains 1-0, leaving Malaysia plenty of time to shrug off a bad start and get into the match.

It is penalty corners galore for Malaysia, as they get four in quick succession, but have failed to convert. However, on the good side of things, they are gaining momentum and are finding spaces. Should be an interesting second half if this continues.

Well, well, well! We have an equaliser. Abu Kamal Azrai makes it 1-1 for Malaysia with two minutes left on the clock in the second quarter. Turning out to be a good game as expected. Brilliant hockey from Malaysia after a slow start.

Malaysia have turned it around, and are ahead in the third quarter! This time it is Norsyafiq Sumantri who scores and takes them 2-1 ahead. Can they hold onto the lead or will we see a Korean fightback?

And the match continues to swing like a pendulum, and this time around, South Korea equalise thanks to Cheoleon Park. What a game it has been so far. End-to-end, attacking hockey! Should be a mouth-watering fourth quarter.

It has been a tense game after the half-time whistle, and it continues to be one with five minutes left on the clock and semi-final spots up for grabs. South Korea will be happy with a draw, while Malaysia will need a win.

Malaysia lead with five minutes left on the clock!! The game that was expected to deliver, keeps delivering. Faizal Saari is the man this time and it is 3-2! Quality hockey!

South Korea score in the dying moments of the fourth quarterand it is heartbreak for Malaysia!! Such score margins. What a match, what a sport! With a draw, South Korea are through to the semis of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024.
