SEA Games: Singapore beat Malaysia 2-1 to clinch football bronze
A two-minute brace by Hariss Harun against Malaysia gave Singapore's football team a bronze medal at the Myanmar SEA Games on Saturday.
Singapore won bronze after defeating Malaysia 2-1.
Hariss bundled home his first goal with 13 minutes gone, after the Malaysian goalkeeper fluffed his lines at a corner. The 23-year-old then struck his second goal moments later, following great work down the flanks by Sahil Suhaimi.
Malaysia stepped up after the break and pulled one back after a defensive blunder by Afiq Yunos.
Singapore held off further attacks to clinch bronze, and give Malaysia their first normal time defeat in 15 SEA Games outings.
Head coach for Singapore U-23s Aide Iskandar said the achievement means little consolation for missing out on the gold, but plans are in place to achieve gold in 2015.
He said: "... with this bronze medal, I believe that we should be working towards getting our first gold, because that is the only medal that we have not achieved at this point in time."

Thailand beat Indonesia 1-0 to take gold in the men's under-23 football final at the Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar on Saturday.
A clever finish by forward Sarawut Masuk on 21 minutes was enough to hold off the hard-working Indonesians -- who were runners-up and silver medallists for the second tournament in a row.
