Malaysia were beaten 3-0 by Ireland in their opening match of the Olympic women's hockey qualifying tournament in Victoria, Canada, on Saturday.
Ireland, who are ranked 18th in the world, earned the win over Malaysia with goals by Clare Parkhill (21st), Eimear Cregan (30th) and Cathy McKean (40th).
The 25th ranked Malaysian, who are competing in the Olympic qualifying tournament for the first time, will play against eighth-ranked South Korea in their next match.
The Koreans got off to an explosive start, hammering Uruguay 10-0. In the other match of the six-team tournament, which offers only one ticket to the Beijing Games, Italy defeated Canada 2-1.
