PETALING JAYA: Once bitten, twice shy. With that in mind, Malaysian football team midfielder Stuart Wilkin has reminded his teammates that they simply can’t afford to make the same defensive mistakes when they take on Bahrain in the decisive second Group E match at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha tomorrow.

Malaysia suffered a crushing 4-0 loss to Jordan on Monday in their Asian Cup opener in Doha and can forget about their dreams of advancing to the knockout stage (last 16) unless they can overcome Bahrain.
