PETALING JAYA: National coach Kim Pan-gon wanted to see character and tenacity from all the 33 players selected for his centralised camp when they took on Nepal in a closed-door friendly. And he got what he wished for.

His charges lived up to his expectations by beating Nepal 5-1 in a game that was held for 140 minutes, divided into four halves at the UiTM Stadium in Shah Alam on Friday.
