Losing in the derby will always be painful not only the fans but also the players involved. That was what Mohamadou Sumareh felt in the narrow 0-1 loss that Malaysia suffered at the hands of Singapore on the opening day of the 2019 Airmarine Cup.
The 2019 version of the Causeway Derby was a disappointment from the Malaysia perspective as Zaquan Adha, Syazwan Zainon and Sumareh himself had opportunities to find the back of the net, particularly in a dominating spell at the start of the second half.
For the Pahang attacker, he knows that Malaysia should have taken at least one of the many chances created in the 90 minutes against Singapore and they are responsible for not being more clinical in front of goal.
