: The national Under-23 football team’s hopes of making the final of the Asean Football Federation Under-23 Championship were dashed after they fell 4-1 to defending champions Vietnam at the Rayong Provincial Stadium in Thailand today.
Although both teams began well, Vietnamese midfielder Xuan Tien found himself unmarked in the Malaysian box in the eighth minute to cooly slot home from close range after receiving a cross from the right from Nguyen Minh Quang. Elavarasan then made three substitutions in the second half, bringing on striker Fergus Tierney to replace Harith Akif Mohd Shahar and the move paid off as Alif Ikmalrizal headed home a cross from the right by Muhammad Aliff Izwan Yuslan just four minutes after the break.
The national team began their group campaign by edging Indonesia 2-1 on Friday before downing Timor Leste 3-1 on Tuesday .
