Malaysia bounced back from their opening match loss, to stun Indonesia 1-0 in their Group A match at the ASEAN Boy’s Under-17 football championships at the Gelora Joko Samudro in Gresik, East Jawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another Group A match, Vietnam, who had beaten Malaysia 4-0 in their opening match, thrashed Timor Leste 10-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia’s solitary goal in the match against Indonesia came in the 33rd minute off a corner. Muhammad Fareez headed in the ball pass Indonesian keeper Noah Leo, off the corner taken by Nur Azam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite dominating with their attacking game, Indonesia, who had beaten Timor Leste 4-0 in their opening match, were unable to breach the tight Malaysian defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietnam play Indonesia in the final group match while Malaysia takes on wooden spoonist Timor Leste on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indonesia, need an unlikely huge win over Vietnam to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. As for Malaysia, they also need to win similarly by a big margin to erase Vietnam’s huge goal difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But a draw or win for Vietnam, would see them stepping into the semi-finals as group leaders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc and Nguyen Van Duong picked up hattricks in Vietnam’s huge win over Timor Leste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nguyen Luc struck in the 6th<\/sup>, 32nd<\/sup> and 85th<\/sup> minutes while Van Duong was on target in the 67th<\/sup>, 72nd<\/sup> and 81st<\/sup> minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The marauding Vietnamese led 4-0 in the first half with Le Trong Dai Nanh finding the net in the 20th<\/sup> minute and Tran Ngoc Son on target in the 24th<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tran Tri Dung and Truong Nguyen Duy Khang piled on the misery for Timor Leste with goals in the 61st<\/sup> and 70th<\/sup> minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Malaysia bounced back from their opening match loss, to stun Indonesia 1-0 in their Group A match at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11553,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[63],"class_list":["post-11752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-football"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d.webp",2307,1281,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-150x150.webp",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-300x167.webp",300,167,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-768x426.webp",640,355,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-1024x569.webp",640,356,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-1536x853.webp",1536,853,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-2048x1137.webp",2048,1137,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-825x575.webp",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d-590x410.webp",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/asean-u17-boys-championship-2026-promotional-06788d.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11752"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11754,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11752\/revisions\/11754"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
