Taking on Indonesia in front of thousands of their fans isn't easy, but the players managed to rein in their emotions and play with confidence,' he said.

We will now focus on the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers,' he added. The match saw seven yellow cards issued, three for Malaysia and four for Indonesia, reflecting the intense battle on the field.
