  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Under-17 women's team fell short of the Srikandi Merdeka Cup final, trailing 5-1 to Thailand in a match held at the Super Soccer Arena in Central Java on Friday. Defender Nisriena Batrissya Azhar saw red early in the first half, leaving Malaysia with 10 players. Thailand's Kanokporn Wanthong and captain Kawinthida Kikuntod dominated the midfield in the second half, capitalizing on Malaysia's struggles to create scoring opportunities. After the group-stage win over Saudi Arabia, striker Lim You remained silent against the Thai defense. Thailand took the lead in the seventh minute when an own goal by Sofia Jeanne Lacasse gifted the goal. Ten minutes later, Malaysia equalized through Nina Hasmaji. Kawinthida put Thailand ahead six minutes into the second half with a left-footed strike from inside the penalty box. Kanokporn extended the lead in the 64th minute with a long-range left-footed effort. Malaysia's Zuzana Kordem added the fifth goal in the 85th minute.",
