Though Malaysia had earned almost as many penalty corners as Germany, they couldn't back their conversions with their field goals as Germany did.

A major reason for this was Tobias Walter, the goalkeeper of Germany, who controlled the Malaysian attack with finesse, keeping the conceded goal count low.

Malaysia had dominated throughout the second quarter, earning two goals as well. Interestingly, Malaysia had also made nine circle entries in the same quarter, with four penalty corners earned, and three shots made at the goal.

However, only two of the same could materialize into tangible goals, and this is because of Tobias Walter, who stood solid as a rock against the Malaysian attack.

The fact that Tobias Walter was extremely successful could be proved from the fact that the third goal of Malaysia came 14 minutes later, and that too when Germany had extended their lead to 4-2.
