Despite performing valiantly against China, Malaysia just missed out on the AFC U-23 Championship finals, as they recorded a 2-2 draw on Wednesday in their last Group J qualifiers match.
MALAYSIA
Haziq Nadzli - 7/10
The goalkeeper performed well enough to keep out the numerous attempts by the Chinese, but could not keep out two of them.
Dominic Tan - 7/10
The right back was a calm and commanding figure in overall, but the one time he lost focus, it led to China's first equaliser.
Syamer Kutty Abba - 7/10
The makeshift centre back had a decent game keeping out the opposition attackers, but was not able to use his height to clear the cross that led to China's second and final equaliser.
