"I always expect my players to win when they enter the pitch regardless of whom they are playing and so far, the players have not let down my expectations of them," said Malaysian coach Paul Revington.
However, happy with the win did not mean Revington was happy with the way his charges played in the seconf half.
"We were in control of attack after scoring the two goals, and had chances to make it 3-0 and even 4-0 but did not take it. That is an area that needs improving," said Revington.
Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin, who scored his first of the tournament was just glad that he could help his mates: "It was a wonderful feeling to score that goal and help my teammates win the match. Now that we have to wins, we will be looking to continue this momentum in the remaining matches," said Tengku Ahmad.
