PETALING JAYA: It’s indeed a pleasant surprise as Malaysia will end the year as the most outstanding team from South-East Asia after two matches of the World Cup 2026-Asian Cup 2027 second-round qualifiers.

Harimau Malaya are the only team from the region to earn the maximum six points following a well deserved 1-0 win over Taiwan in Taipei on Tuesday.
