AL RAYYAN (QATAR): Harimau Malaya head coach Kim Pan-gon took full responsibility for Malaysia’s failure in the Asian Cup after the team lost 0-1 to Bahrain in their second Group E match on Saturday.

The loss at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium effectively ended Malaysia’s chances of advancing to the round of 16, having previously lost 0-4 to Jordan in their first game on Monday.
