Having the distinction of being the only team not to have scored a goal so far in the Champions Trophy, Great Britain went into the break in today’s match against Maylasia 1-0 down, having struggled in the first half. It was Scotland’s Stephen Dick who levelled the score fifteen minutes into the second half. Rob Moore made it two from a quick counter-attack minutes later, and GB held on to a 2-1 lead until Abdullah equalised for Malaysia with seven minutes of play left. But GB were to have the last word. A free hit outside the Malaysian circle fell to the stick of Ben Hawes, who unleashed a fierce shot into goal. Final score 3-2 to Great Britain.
