Jun 07, 2024

Harimau Malaya will need a miracle if they want to secure a place in the next World Cup.  

Their qualification hopes suffered a major blow last night, after they drew 1-all against Kyrgyzstan.  

The national squad are in 3rd place in their qualifying group with just one match to go.  

They are 3 points behind Kyrgyzstan who also have a vastly superior goal difference. 

This means that Malaysia must score a decisive victory Chinese Taipei in Bukit Jalil next week, and hope that Kyrgyzstan lose by a wide margin against Oman.
