Lim You scores again as Tigresses clinch 3rd spot

The Malaysia under-16 women's football team secured third place at the Srikandi Merdeka Cup tournament with a commanding 4-0 victory over Jordan in the third-place playoff, held in Kudus, Indonesia today. The team, led by captain Keisha Adeliena Khalid, displayed impressive skill and teamwork throughout the match.

Jordan's Eman Muhannad Mahmoud Altmaizi scored the opening goal for the hosts in the second minute, after scoring against her own team. Lim You responded promptly in the 40th minute, capitalizing on a pass from Keisha to score the first goal for Malaysia. Keisha sealed the win for Malaysia with a penalty in the 94th minute, following a foul by Jordan's Ragad Rafat Harbi Haqrous inside the penalty box.

The final goal of the match came from Isabella Saffiya O Luanaigh in the 94th minute, who calmly slotted the ball past the Jordanian goalkeeper.

This victory comes after Malaysia had suffered a 1-5 defeat to Thailand in the semi-final match of the tournament, held on Friday.
