Hosts India strengthened their top place in the points table at the Men’s Asian Champions Trophy 2026 after beating China by 5-2. Earlier on Thursday (29 October), Malaysia defeated South Korea by 3-1, and Japan edged Bangladesh out by 1-0.

Malaysia got the 1-0 lead in the 10th minute after Azimuddin Kamaruddin successfully netted.

Faizal Saari’s field goal in the 50th minute helped Malaysia to strengthen their lead, as they won by 3-1.

Bangladesh, who started the tournament with a havoc 13-0 defeat against the hosts and record-holding five-time champions India, produced some fightback but suffered a close 1-0 defeat against Japan. In the 40th minute, Raiki Fujishima successfully converted a penalty corner to score the solitary winning goal for Japan.
