: Malaysia came back from two goals down to eke out a respectable 2-2 draw with Syria in their Teir 1 international friendly match in Chengdu, China this evening, preserving their unbeaten 5-match run in international friendlies that began in March.
Luck was on Syria’s side though, as Mardek Mrdkian unleashed a blistering shot in the 12th minute that was on target after midfielder Brendan Gan was late in clearing the ball. The Malaysians tried to equalise, but several attempts, Corbin Ong in the 15th and Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim in the 28th, were saved by Syrian goalkeeper Ahmad Madanieh.
Pan Gon made full use of the number of substitutions allowed in friendlies in the second half, bringing in six new pairs of legs to ensure that the team’s momentum would not drop. The move paid off in the 51st minute, when Johor Darul Ta’zim winger Muhammad Akhyar, who came on replacing Arif Aiman Mohd Hanapi, managed to beat the offside trap and scored off a long pass from Endrik Dos Santos.
Darren was on target in the 85th minute, however, managing to pounce on a rebound from a shot by Muhammad Safawi Rasid that was deflected by Syrian substitute keeper Taha Mousa.
