Lapse in concentration was a bigger contributor to Malaysia's last-minute defeat to Lebanon than poor fitness, says Harimau Malaya boss Nelo Vingada.
Although he agreed that lapse in concentration cost his side their 2019 Asian Cup qualification group match against Lebanon, Malaysia head coach Nelo Vingada rubbished the notion that the fasting month affected his men's fitness.
Many of the Malaysia players are currently fasting during the day, in observance of the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Speaking to the press after the 2-1 defeat at Larkin, he pointed out the fact that Lebanon; which is also a Muslim-majority country, also had players who are fasting.
