Although disappointed with the result, Nafuzi praised his players' fighting spirit, noting that most of them were still young and lacked experience at the international level. bootstrap slideshow 'Overall, our defence showed some lapses and nervousness at the beginning of the match, which allowed the Philippines to score. 'We tried to fight back and went all out to secure a draw, but once we were trailing, it became more difficult,' he said after the match.

Malaysia Fall 0-2 To Philippines In AFF U-23 Opener
JAKARTA, July 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's under-23 (U-23) football team began their AFF U-23 Championship 2025 campaign on the wrong foot after falling 0-2 to the Philippines at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium here on Tuesday, despite dominating most of the match.
