Bunch of overrated overpaid players who are only good in the local league.

Heartbreak for Harimau Malaya as they lose to Bahrain, no thanks to a late goal

Heartbreak for Harimau Malaya as they lose to Bahrain, no thanks to a late goal

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's hopes of making it out of the group stage are as good as over in the Asian Cup.

A stoppage-time goal broke Harimau Malaya's strong resolve as they lost 0-1 to Bahrain in the second Group E match of the Asian Cup at the Jassim Hamad Stadium on Saturday (Jan 20).

The side led by South Korean Kim Pan-gon produced a defensive masterclass led by Buriram United centreback Dion Cools but it all ended in vain as they continued their winless run in the group.

Dion was in his element as he won 10 duels, made six recoveries and 13 clearances to keep the Middle East side at bay for most of the match.
But Bahraini winger Ali Madan was unstoppable as he broke the solid defense to score the winner in the 96th minute injury time to give the Dilmun Warriors their first win in the group.

While Bahrain celebrated, the Malaysians slumped on the field in sheer disappointment as they had given a better account of themselves but it wasn't enough.

Before the game against Bahrain, Malaysia had played poorly to lose 0-4 to Jordan on Jan 16.

Malaysia will next face tournament favourites South Korea at the Jassim Hamad Stadium on Jan 25.

With two defeats, it's hard for Malaysia to win a spot in the last 16 unless they beat the mighty South Korea by a big margin.

While everyone said we were knocked out from group stage d , even news article

It is not accurate actually

Technically if we put aside Korean as the favorite , if we can trash Korea by a huge huge margin , we can still qualify
By huge I mean 10-0 , possible to qualify on goal difference depending on the rest of the matches which will be played at same time

Yes yes I know it’s Korea but purely calculation wise we can still qualify

From what I read Malaysia and Vietnam knocked out because of the head to head rule.

If 2 teams has the same points, who won the in the head to head fight is placed higher.

So if Bahrain and Malaysia has the points but Bahrain won against Malaysia, Bahrain is place higher. Goal difference doesn't matter unless we draw.

Is it ? I thought the group stage table is solely on GD if WDL is the same
Then 4 best 3rd will enter

Was reading the full competition manual by AFC couldn’t find it

I’m very interested to know as well

I don't know you personally so I just reply at face value only. There was another guy in the thread that didn't understand you.

People don't have six sense to understand your cryptic message

Erm different team dink donk
Dion cools used to play against Manchester United , Mo Salah and many more in Europe
Stuart Wilkins was Southampton youth player
Natxo played for vilareal Zaragoza and Valencia although he played terribly this time
Darren played in national league south , England
Others such as Brendan Gan Matthew Dav , and the rest used to play overseas before coming back to Malaysia

And half of the squad played in AFCCL

angmoh players become sayur when playing against arab players. should have naturalized more arab players instead of useless angmoh whose feet become jelly when shooting in front of opponent goal

What u talking? It doesnt matter where they played before, most of the JDT players are only good in Malaysia local league. At international level, they are garbage. Thats why i said they are overpaid
