Defending champions South Korea take on Malaysia in the fifth Super4s match of the Asia Cup Hockey 2025 at Bihar Sports University Hockey Stadium in Rajgir, Bihar, on Saturday (September 6). Watch the South Korea vs Malaysia hockey match live today.
The match is a repeat of the 2022 final, where South Korea won 2-1 to secure their record-extending fifth title. This time, the stakes are different.
South Korea are at the bottom of the Super4s standings with just one point after losing to China (0-3) and squandering leads to India (2-2). Malaysia, carrying their preliminary form, started confidently with a 2-0 win over China but lost to India (1-4).
As things stand, hosts India lead the Super4s table with four points, followed by China and Malaysia with three each. China are ahead on goal difference.
Malaysia need a win today to reach six points and likely confirm a spot in the final. A draw or loss would leave them relying on the outcome of the India vs China match, also scheduled for today.
South Korea must win and hope India lose heavily to China, along with a favourable goal difference, to stay in contention for the finale.
Earlier in the tournament, Malaysia beat South Korea 4-1 in the pool stage. In their last ten meetings, South Korea have won five, Malaysia four, and one match ended in a draw.
This match could decide who joins India or China in the final.
