Speedy Tigers defeat Pakistan 5-4 in Asian Games group tie
Malaysia trailed 3-4 at one point before staging a comeback to deal Pakistan its first defeat in the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
The Speedy Tigers extended their impressive winning streak at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Pakistan in their Group B tie. Malaysia had been trailing 3-4 at one point during the match, but managed to mount a remarkable comeback to secure the win, resulting in Pakistan's first loss at the Asian Games.
This marks the Speedy Tigers' fourth consecutive win, following their 7-0 victories against Uzbekistan, Oman, and ultimately a commanding 10-0 triumph over Thailand. Their next opponent will be China on Monday. In the 2022 Asian Games, India claimed the gold medal, while Malaysia finished in sixth place after a narrow 2-5 defeat to Pakistan.
Despite these achievements, Malaysia has yet to win gold at the Asian Games, though it has reached the final twice before, in 2010 and 2018.
