In another one-sided match in the same pool, South Korea thrashed Bangladesh 8-0. South Korea went ahead in the second minute with a penalty corner conversion and got the next one through a penalty stroke. Two more successfully converted penalty corners and four field goals saw them home.
The South Koreans led 5-0 at half time.
