Malaysia opens tournament account with a win, late goal consigns South Korea to defeat

Nasveer Singh’s added-time goal gave Malaysia its first win of the 2025 Asia-Oceania Championships, defeating South Korea 2-1.

Adray Uzair scored his second goal of the tournament in the 10th minute, turning the ball home into the bottom corner to break the deadlock.

Kim Kinam levelled the game just past the midway point of the second half, heading in from a corner to bring the game level.

It looked like the game would end in a stalemate before Singh struck home at the near post, earning Player of the Match honours in the process.

Both Malaysia and South Korea will play in the 5th-7th Playoff.
