Malaysia defeated hosts Cambodia 5-4 in their opening match of the 2020 AFC U19 Championship Qualifiers at the Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
Malaysia had taken a 3-0 lead by half time and were leading 5-2 with 15 minutes left to play, but two late goals from the home side made for a nail-biting final few minutes for Brad Maloney’s side in Group G of the qualification event.
