Robbert Kemperman achieved a personal milestone by completing his 200th senior international appearance in this match. The plight of Malayasia (World Rank 12) would have been much worse if veteran goalkeeper Kumar Subramiam had not made numerous crucial saves.

While the first match was a lop-sided affair, the second one dished out exciting contest. Germany (WR 6) and Pakistan (WR 13) could not be separated in the first two quarters in which the defences of both teams excelled.

The match burst into life in the third quarter with Germany breaking the deadlock, thanks to a wonderfully worked goal that was finished brilliantly by Marco Miltkau, who dived at full stretch to chip the ball over Pakistan goalkeeper Imran Butt and into the unguarded net. The Green Shirts came close to levelling moments later through a sliding Muhammad Zubair, but the Pakistan forward was unable to trouble Germany goalkeeper Tobias Walter with his attempted deflection.

German mid-fielder Mats Grambusch was named the Player of the Match. Meanwhile, Spain captain Miguel Delas was ruled out for the rest of the tournament due to injury and was replaced by Ricardo Sanchez.
