KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian men’s hockey team gave their best but it was not enough to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. Malaysia were punished by a penalty stroke and a field goal in the first quarter of the second leg. Briton Alan Forsyth converted the penalty stroke in the ninth minute while Sam Ward made it 2-0 in the 11th minute. Razie Rahim closed the gap with a 40th minute penalty corner goal but Alan Forsyth nailed another in the 56th minute. It was more misery for Malaysia when Forsyth scored a hat-trick with a 57th minute penalty stroke to make it 5-2.
