Facing Bahrain at Al Sadd Stadium (Qatar) on the evening of January 20, Malaysia was somewhat inferior in terms of ball control. However, Malaysia counterattacked fiercely and repeatedly made the West Asian representative's defense struggle to defend.

The two teams used a lot of physical play, competing fiercely but not many opportunities were created. But in the last minute of extra time, Ali Madan fired a technical shot from outside the box to beat goalkeeper Hazmi, bringing a 1-0 victory to Bahrain.
This defeat caused coach Kim Pan Gon and his team to be bitterly eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup. After two matches in Group E, Jordan and South Korea are leading with 4 points, Bahrain has 3 points and Malaysia has no points. In the final match on January 25, Malaysia will meet South Korea while Jordan will face Bahrain.
