AGAIN, it was the last few points.

It was a match where Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong looked capable of winning but they collapsed in the crucial stages by losing 20-22, 19-21 to Indonesia's Marcus Fernaldi Gideon-Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo in a 34-minute closely-contested quarter-final battle at the Istora Gelora Bung Karno yesterday.
