: Malaysia suffered their first loss in Group D of their 2026 World Cup/2027 Asia Cup Qualifiers after going down 0-2 to Oman at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, this morning.
Two goals scored in the second half by Oman, ranked 80th in the FIFA World ranking, through Issam Al Sabhi and Muhsen Al Ghassani in the 58th and 88th minutes, courtesy of two lapses in concentration by the defence, was enough to see the host walk out with three points. The home team’s two good scoring opportunities in the first half came through Omer Al Malki’s header in the 14th minute which was saved by Ahmad Syihan while the Malaysian custodian was once again called into action in the 32nd minute when he saved a powerful shot by Salaah Al Yahyae.
Stunned by the goal, Malaysia quickly moved into action and responded positively in search of the equaliser but lady luck failed to smile on the Harimau Malaya squad when defender La’Vere Corbin-Ong’s header from a corner taken by Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim rocked the crossbar in the 61st minute.
