“It was a very tough game because Thailand are a very strong team. We tried to pressure them but it was not easy,” he told a post match press conference, here, yesterday. theSun thesundaily PanGon HarimauMalaya AFFCup
: Harimau Malaya head coach Kim Pan Gon stressed that a slim 1-0 victory in the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup Semifinal against Thailand at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, here, yesterday was clearly not enough to cement a place in the final.
More importantly, he was relieved to see that his team did not concede a goal against the ‘War Elephants’ in the match after nippy winger Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim opened the score in the 11th minute. When asked to comment on Dominic Tan’s disallowed header in the 55th minute, the South Korean only said: “I did not see it clearly, I cannot say anything,”.
“As a coach, I don’t like to lose like that but this is football as losing is part of the game. I never thought that Thailand can dominate the game because Malaysia were totally different in the group stage,” he said.
