DOHA: Winless Harimau Malaya will have their last chance to bring home a point today from the Asian Cup in Doha, Qatar.
World No. 130 Malaysia were eliminated from the quadrennial Asian showpiece after losing two straight Group E matches, 4-0 to Jordan and 1-0 to Bahrain last week.
Malaysia, coached by Korean Kim Pan Gon, will play two-time Asian Cup champions and world No. 23 South Korea at the Al Janoub Stadium (7.30pm, Malaysian time, today).
In what is expected to be an exciting match, Pan Gon will lead Malaysia against his own nation for the first time since he became Harimau Malaya coach in January 2022.
It is reported that Malaysia's Natxo Insa and Matthew Davies are doubts for the game, but the Brazil-born Endrick Dos Santos could make his Asian Cup debut for Malaysia as he is said to have recovered from a muscle tear.
Malaysia are braced for a torrid time against the Taegeuk Warriors will be led by their superstar Son Heung Min who plays for Tottenham Hotspur.
