  "account": "Malaysia secured third place in the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup following a dramatic 1-0 victory over Vietnam at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta. The decisive goal arrived in the 62nd minute through substitute striker Fergus Tierney, who executed a brilliant move to score past the Vietnamese goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang. Vietnam relentlessly pressed for a draw but were denied by a VAR decision that denied Harith Haiqal a penalty after a challenge on substitute Le Van Do. Malaysia's defensive record throughout the competition was flawless with four consecutive clean sheets, and they took home an estimated prize fund between US$225,000 and US$255,000 (RM945,000 and RM1.07 million).",
