SHAH ALAM: Two inspired substitutions from Datuk Ong Kim Swee made the difference as Malaysia completed a 2-1 comeback win over bitter rivals Singapore in their second 2017 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games Group A match at the Shah Alam Stadium.

Last night, Singapore took a shock lead through midfielder Amiruldin Mohd Nodin in the 37th minute but second half substitutes -  midfielder Muhd Nor Azam Abdul Azih  and striker N. Thanabalan - were on target on the 67th and 73rd minute to chalk up their second win in the competition.
