KUALA LUMPUR: It was a pathetic performance by the Malaysian team against a mixed team of juniors and senior Indian team in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh.
The fans came in droves to support the national team after they stunned Olympic champions Argentina 2-1 on Tuesday.
But Malaysian defence led by skipper Muhd Razie Abdul Rahim was a total washout as they collapsed in the last 18 minutes and got hammered 5-1.
With the defeat, Malaysia have six points from four matches and they will wrap the round robin match against England tomorrow.
As for India it was their first win in four matches.
Malaysia had played India 26 times in the tournament and won only six times, lost 16 times and drew three times since it’s inception in 1983.
India, which rested 10 of the senior players, started off well by taking the lead in the 10th minute.
Gurjant Singh reverse stick attempt from the left hit bounced of the pads of goalkeeper Muhd Hafizuddin Othman before Shilanand Lakra easily flick the ball into goal off a acute angle.
Malaysia equalised in the 33rd minute off a penalty corner. Forward Faizal Saari drag flick sailed past keeper Suraj Karkera.
But then the disaster started as India dominated the game and scoring four goals in the space of 15 minutes.
India regained the lead in the 42nd minute off their second penalty corner scored off a rebound by Gurjant Singh.
In the 48th minute Sumit Kumar deflected the ball into goal off a cross by Ramandeep Singh.
And three minutes later, Ramandeep deflected the ball into goal off a through past by Varun Kumar to make it 4-1.
In the 57th minute, Gurjant completed the rout by scoring his second and his team’s fifth goal.
World champions Australia were the first team to book a place in the final after registering their fourth consecutive win.
The world No. 1 outplayed Ireland 4-1 in the first match of the day to top the standings with 12 points.
They conclude their preliminary round fixtures against Olympics champions Argentina tomorrow.
Reigning Olympic champions Argentina hopes of reaching the final looks rather tough as they were held to a 1-1 draw by England.
