On September 3, Malaysia made a powerful statement by defeating China 2-0 in the opening Super Four encounter. Syed Cholan and Akhimullah Anuar delivered the goals that secured Malaysia's place at the top of the group, reinforcing their credentials as strong contenders .

Later that evening, hosts India faced defending champions South Korea in a gripping showdown that ended in a 2-2 draw. India surged ahead early with a sensational field goal by Hardik Singh in the 8th minute. However, South Korea hit back quickly, first leveling through a penalty stroke by Jihun Yang in the 12th minute, then taking the lead via a penalty corner conversion from Hyeonhong Kim just two minutes later . Despite relentless pressure and several missed chances, India persevered—finally equalizing in the 52nd minute when Mandeep Singh found the net off a well-timed setup . The draw maintained India's unbeaten streak in the tournament, though it highlighted persistent issues in finishing and efficiency upfront .

These pivotal showdowns underline the demand for realistic hockey training tools. As teams prepare for unforgiving scenarios like the Super Four stage, precision equipment—such as an authentic, regulation-size training hockey puck with exact weight, consistent glide, and durable multi-surface performance—becomes essential. Training with such tools builds muscle memory, sharpens execution under pressure, and concretely bridges the gap between practice and match-play, especially for honing stickhandling, passing, and shooting accuracy.
