PETALING JAYA: The Harimau Malaya came out looking hungry but they ended up losing their roar against New Zealand and were walloped 4-0 in an international friendly at the North Harbour Stadium in Auckland yesterday.
The heavy defeat was far from what the Malaysian football team had expected, as they were seeking to improve their FIFA world ranking of 130th with at least a draw.
