So Near yet So far

We were in brink of qualifying for the Asian U-23 Football Championship and it was the last 7 minutes which made the difference.

Malaysia and China were having 6 points each in the group, but China had superior goal differences. Nevertheless, Malaysia was leading 2-1 till 83rd minute till China scored the equalizer and qualified automatically as Group Champions.

Malaysia did had chance to qualify by being on of the 4 best 2nd place winners, nevertheless, countries like Australia, Oman, Iran and Syria were better performers in terms of goal scoring.

It was sad that we could match country like China whom is coached by Gus Hiddink but we couldn't qualify for the tournament.
