KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian women’s football team never recovered from going two goals down in the first two minutes and were thrashed 4-0 by Thailand in their opening Group H tie of the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifier in Palestine.

Coach Jacob Joseph’s team had no idea what hit them after just 35 seconds as Thailand’s swift attack resulted in striker Kanyanat Chettabutr nodding home a perfectly floated cross from the right by Sunisa Srangthaisong at the Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium in Jerusalem yesterday.
