  "summary": "Malaysia and Australia played to a 2-2 draw in a Group H match of the U-20 Asian Cup qualifiers in Vientiane, Malaysia, today. The match was suspended for approximately two hours due to bad weather before it resumed. Malaysia took the lead through Fadhlul Hadi in the 50th minute and further extended their advantage with Izzuddin Afif scoring in the 70th minute. However, Australia equalised with a goal from Alaat Abdul-Rahman in the 80th minute, resulting in a split of the points. Malaysia had previously held a goalless draw against Indonesia on Monday. The team currently sits second in the group with two points and will face Laos in their final match on Sunday.",
