Malaysia lift AFF U-15 title in comeback win, U-18 bounce back

Malaysia U-15 capped off a fine one month, this time lifting the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship title with a brilliant come-from-behind 2-1 win against hosts Thailand in the final match on Friday.

Just like in their three previous matches, Maniam Pachaiappan's charges went behind first, Theekawin Chansri heading in the opening goal from a corner kick in the 16th minute.

But just like in their last matches, they did not give up and kept pushing for the equaliser, which only came in the 69th minute. Izrin Ibrahim's low shot from outside the box squeezed in between the defenders and beyond goalkeeper Kasidech Rungkijwatthanakul's grasp.
