Asian Football Confederation(AFC) website lists the top six fixtures of the group stage. One of the six matches is a match between Korea Republic and Malaysia.
Match in Group E between Korea Republic and Malaysia, which saw six goals, resulted in one of the six best actions at the group level, which was chosen by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
The AFC described the action of this match, which ended 3-3, as a ‘roller coaster’ action, especially after witnessing the revival of the Harimau Malaya, who managed to tie the 23rd-ranked team in the world with an equalizer in the final minute.
“A late 1-0 loss to Bahrain on Matchday Two had eliminated Malaysia with a game to spare but the Southeast Asians went into the game with Korea Republic looking to bow out of their first continental competition since 2007 on a high. What followed was a rollercoaster of a game which their supporters will talk about for years to come.” AFC said about this match.
In addition, the action between Iraq against Japan ended 2-1 as well as Tajikistan’s 2-1 victory over Lebanon which sent Tajikistan to the knockout round.
