Sport : Fergus Proud To Score Winning Goal, Hopes Harimau Malaya Maintain Momentum
From Ahmad Nazrin Syahmi Mohamad Arif JAKARTA, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Striker Fergus Tierney hopes Malaysia’s 1-0 win over Vietnam will serve as a springboard for the Harimau Malaya to maintain their positive momentum after he scored the winning goal in the third-place playoff of the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup here last night.
Striker Fergus Tierney scored the winning goal in Malaysia's 1-0 victory over Vietnam in the FIFA Asean Cup third-place playoff, marking a significant moment for the team. The 23-year-old, who came on as a substitute in the second half, expressed his happiness at contributing to the team's success. This win ended Malaysia's 12-year winless streak against Vietnam, with their last triumph occurring in the 2014 AFF Cup semi-final.
The victory also marked Malaysia's perfect tournament run, securing three wins and one draw without conceding a goal. The team, coached by interim head coach Tan Cheng Hoe, had opened their campaign with a 3-0 win over Bangladesh and a 6-0 victory over Singapore. Despite finishing the Division 1 Group A campaign level on points and goal difference with the hosts, Malaysia did not progress to the final on goals scored.
