SELAYANG: Malaysia's 14-year-old footballer Lim You broke down in tears after a 4-0 defeat to India on Sunday, that ended their hopes of qualifying for next year's U-17 Women's Asian Cup.

The youngster, who played the full 90 minutes at the Selayang Stadium, struggled to contain her emotions after the final whistle as Malaysia failed to match India in the Group E decider.

Former Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh, who was at the stadium to support the national team, approached Lim You to comfort her and offer words of encouragement.

Hannah, now Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), stayed until the final whistle to support the young Malaysians.
