German attacker Christopher Ruhr was at his lethal best against the feeble Malaysian defence in the first two quarters of the match.

He kept making dangerous runs past the defence and had a couple of chances before opening his account.

Ruhr capitalised on a mistake by the Malaysian backline and intercepted a pass to get inside the circle.

He created space for himself and then finished a stunning reverse hit into the left top corner of the Malaysian goal past a helpless Subramiam Kumar.

At the start of the second quarter, a sleek attacking move by the German midfield let Ruhr run past a couple of defenders.

He positioned himself inside the circle with a good touch and unleashed a powerful low shot that went into the bottom corner of the goal after hitting the post.
