IPOH, Malaysia — New Zealand demolished Argentina 5-2 Friday to make it two wins out of two at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup and underline their Olympic credentials, while Malaysia held Britain to a draw.

India meanwhile gained a measure of redemption by beating fellow London Olympic hopefuls South Korea 2-1.

The shock result of the day saw the host hold world No. 4 ranked Britain to a 3-3 draw.

“It was a good first half but the players lost the plot in the second half and allowed South Korea to dominate the proceedings,” said India’s straight-talking Australian coach Michael Nobbs. — AFP
