Against a lower-rated opponent, U19 Malaysia quickly controlled the game right after the opening whistle. The representative of Malaysian youth football continuously created pressure with fast attacks on both wings and many dangerous finishing situations.
After some missed opportunities, U19 Malaysia had the opening goal in the 22nd minute. From a cross from the right wing, defender Khalish of U19 Brunei in an effort to save accidentally scored an own goal.
The goal helped U19 Malaysia play more excitedly. This team continuously created pressure on the opponent's goal with Safaraz's shots and dangerous aerial situations.
Right at the end of the first half, U19 Malaysia doubled the gap after a corner kick situation. Arsyad rushed to head close range, giving the Brunei goalkeeper no chance to save.
Stepping into the second half, U19 Malaysia was still the team that completely controlled the game. Although creating more opportunities, their strikers lacked accuracy in decisive situations.
It was not until the last minutes of injury time that the yellow shirt team scored more goals to close the score. In the 90+3 minute, the U19 Brunei goalkeeper did not handle well after a cross from the right wing, creating conditions for Malaysian players to rush in and volley to increase the score to 3-0.
Just a few minutes later, from a corner kick causing chaos in the penalty area, Aswad quickly finished from close range, sealing a 4-0 victory for U19 Malaysia.
The only minus point of Malaysia U19 in this match was Firhad's red card in the 90+1 minute after a foul on an opposing player.
With this victory, U19 Malaysia temporarily climbed to the top of Group B of the 2026 Southeast Asian U19 Championship with 6 points (goal difference +7). In the next round, U19 Malaysia will face U19 Thailand on June 8.
