After pinning the Lions in their own half right from the start, Malaysia opened accounts through Mohd Sahfaik Mohd Shukri in the 17th minute. Aiman Hakim Ridza Abdoh added the second in the 25th minute.

The Lions fought back gamely and had their fair share of chances but were let down by poor finishing.

Malaysia was clearly the better side with a more coordinated attack. But despite creating a number of goal-scoring chances, they could not add on to the tally in the second half.
