Speaking to Bernama, Ahmad Shabery Cheek said that even without key players, the team managed to put in a good performance and did well to stop Qatar from scoring more goals.
However, he warned that head coach Datuk K. Rajagopal needs to come up with a different plan if Malaysia wants to continue competing for a place in the 2015 Asian Cup.
"I hope Rajagopal will come out with a new strategy to overcome both Yemen and Bahrain," Shabery said.
