MAS V FRA ( 5th - 8th ) Hockey World League Semi-Final Antwerp 2015


Match Review MAS - FRA 4-1
A scoreline of 4-1 suggests Malaysian dominance, but the early stages of the game suggested the result could have gone either way.
The first quarter of the game was played at a frenetic pace, with both France and Malaysia creating chances. The deadlock was broken at the start of the second quarter when the ever-industrious Hugo Genestet found Jean Laurent Kieffer (18') with a perfect defence-splitting pass. The deflection flew over 'keeper Roslan Jamaluddin's head.
The lead was short-lived as Shahrun Abdullah's (19') shot rebounded to Muhammad Shamsul, who slammed the ball home.
The game continued to be played at a high tempo, with Malaysia having the best of the later exchanges. Faizal Saari chipped the ball over the crossbar, but this was just a warning shot to the French: just a few minutes later, Azuan Hasan (37') dived full length onto a cross to put the Speedy Tigers ahead.
The final session was played with no quarter given. Guillaume Deront was given a yellow card for a tough challenge on his Malaysian counterpart and the French faced a series of penalty corners as Malaysia strove to make their player advantage count.
The goal that put the cushion between the teams came courtesy of captain Razie Rahim, a ferocious penalty corner strike that left Martin Zylbermann helpless in the French goal.
In a dramatic final few minutes, Zylbermann was dismissed after a crunching tackle on Saari and Rahim was able to double his personal tally from the penalty spot.
"After we lost to India in the quarter-finals, we knew we had to win this one and aim to finish fifth," said Faizal Saari. "We worked hard for each other and supported throughout. It was a tough game, but we kept encouraging each other from the start to the finish."
The result means France will face Pakistan in the 7/8th play-off and Malaysia will go onto to contest fifth spot with Ireland.
