Syamer rues costly errors but salutes tireless teammates


PETALING JAYA: Midfielder Syamer Kutty Abba admitted that the Harimau Malaya had only themselves to blame for the 2-1 loss to Bahrain but said he was proud of the team who fought all the way despite the adverse conditions on the field.

“I salute all the players as we gave our all for 90 minutes despite the tough conditions on the pitch. It’s a game we should have won. We had more clear chances than Bahrain and we wasted them,’’ he said.
