SEA Games 2013: Malaysia 4 - Laos 1
Ahmad Hazwan Bakri scored a hat-trick and helped Malaysia to cruise with a convincing 4-1 victory over Laos at Zayar Thiri Stadium in Naypyitaw yesterday.
Malaysia opened the scoring in the 6th minute from through Ahmad Hazwan effort but failed to display a good performance in the first half. Laos equalised in the 40th minute when K. Reuben headed a Souk Aphone Vongchiengkham free kick into his own net. Both sides were tied at 1-1 until the break.
The Young Tigers returned to the pitch with improved characters. Ahmad Hazwan found the net again 5 minutes after the restart. Laos fell further against the rising Tigers when Ketsada Souksavanh scored an own goal in the 79th minute.
Just eight minutes later, Ahmad Hazwan completed his hat-trick when he tapped in a low Nazmi Faiz cross to give Malaysia a comfortable 4-1 vistory.
Ong Kim Swee is happy with the determination shown by his players, especially in the second half. However he believes that there is still room for improvement.
