KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysia lost 2-0 to Jamaica on Thursday in their final warm-up match before next month's Asian Cup.
Goals in quick succession from Christopher Harvey and Wolry Wolfe just before halftime were enough to give Jamaica the first win of their Asian tour following defeats by Vietnam (3-0) and Indonesia (2-1).
It was Malaysia's second straight defeat, having lost 3-1 to United Arab Emirates last week. In their first warm-up match on June 18, Malaysia beat Cambodia 6-0.
"I don't think that the loss was demoralising on the team as the players realise that this is just a friendly," Malaysian coach Norizan Bakar told journalists.
Malaysia play their first Group C match of the Asian Cup against China on July 10. They also face Iran and Uzbekistan in the group stages. The Asian Cup runs from July 7-29.
