Malaysia, Britain last two
OSAKA. Japan. Mar 19: Penalty corner marksmen Calum Giles of Britain and Kuhan Shanmugana-
than of Malaysia earned their teams the last two qualifying spots lor the Olympic field hockey here on Saturday, reports AFP.
Giles scored two goals as Britain came good when it mattered most to down Argentina 3-I in the crucial play-off at the Nagai Hockey Stadium here.
Ku han struck the match-winner seven minutes from the final whistle to lift Malaysia to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over hosts Japan.
Britain and Malaysia Joined Spain. South Korea, Pakistan and Poland as the qualifiers from the 12-natlon tournament
Holders Holland, hosts Australia and the continental champions India, Germany. Canada and South Africa, complete the field at Sydney.
A seventh qualifier could also go through if the South African Olympic Committee stands by Its decision not to send the men's team to the Games.
If South Africa withdraw, the winner of Sunday's match
between Japan and Argentina will get the ticket to Sydney.
Pakistan and Spain, meanwhile. won psychological points ahead of the Olympics with emphatic victories in the semifinals.
Pakistan, fired by two goals in the last six minutes from substitute striker Haider Hussain. came from behind to defeat South Korea 3-1.
Spain, silver-medalists at the Atlanta Olympics four years ago. cruised through to the final with a 4-1 cruise over Poland.
The Malaysians fought back from a fifth minute goal by Japan's Daisuke Hokaze to draw level In the 28th as Calvin Fernandez brilliantly set up a goal for Suhalmi Ibrahim.
Fernandez dribbled past the Japanese defence and. despite falling on his back, executed a reverse flick to an unmarked Suhalmi who tapped the ball in.
Japan, looking to play In their first Olympics since 1968, attacked In the second-half only to see Kuhan score the match-winner against the run of play.
"This was the most important goal of my career." Kuhan said. Thank God. I was able to contribute to taking Malaysia into the Olympics."
The British, who appeared out of contention following their 5-2 defeat by Poland, dom-
inated Argentina from the start after Danny Hall had scored the opening goal in the second minute.
Giles made it 2-0 before halftime with a stinging shot from the top of the circle after his own penalty corner produced a goal-mouth scramble.
The 27-year-old then gave Britain a comfortable 3-0 lead early In the second-half with a penalty corner hit, before Maximo Pellegrino scored a consolation goal for Argentina 1 1 minutes from the end.
Britain's Australian coach Barry Dancer, slammed by the media for the team's lacklustre display earlier in the tournament. stayed away from the post-match briefing.
He was represented, instead, by the entire 18-rnan squad led by captain Jon Wyatt.
"we went through fire and ice to qualify," Wyatt said without elaborating.
Senior player Ben Sharpe said the team was focussed on winning the most important game of the tournament.
"We were hurt that we were written off in the media, so we dug in and produced the goods," he said.
"We trusted each other in bad times and this helped a lot. 1 always knew we could do It."
