Bittersweet birthday ‘kick’ for Faisal


PETALING JAYA: Nippy striker Faisal Halim was on an emotional rollercoaster after emerging as the match winner for Malaysia in the AFF Mitsubishi Cup on his 25th birthday.

He was elated after scoring an early goal that saw Malaysia beat Thailand 1-0 at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday but there was also a tinge of sadness as he was unable to celebrate his birthday with his loved ones.
