Malaysian goalkeeper angered for 'giving' Thailand a win, wife defends him wholeheartedly

The mistake that Haziq Nadzli made happened in the 57th minute of the match. Starting from a simple pass back from his teammate, the Malaysian goalkeeper unexpectedly cleared the ball to Suphanat Mueanta's feet right in the penalty area. Taking advantage of the "gift" from Haziq Nadzli, the Thai midfielder comfortably handled the ball and then assisted Patrik Gustavsson to score the only goal, helping the home team to have all 3 points.

According to the New Straits Times , all the criticism after the Malaysian team's defeat is now directed at Haziq Nadzli. Currently, his personal accounts on Instagram, Facebook and X (the old name of Twitter) are receiving harsh comments.

Haziq Nadzli (number 23) is receiving a lot of criticism after his mistake in the match against Thailand.

In a quick interview with Metro Sports Channel, Malaysian fan Rashidisthnain expressed his anger: “In the 2017 SEA Games final, Haziq Nadzli made a silly mistake, helping Thailand win the gold medal with a 1-0 victory. Seven years later, he himself brought a big gift to his opponent. These are clearly two blameworthy mistakes by Haziq Nadzli, which are hard to accept for Malaysian fans like us.”

Meanwhile, a fan named Dhiaputera was also upset: “If there was a draw away from home, the chance of reaching the semi-finals would be wide open for Malaysia. Malaysia could even dream of finishing first in the group. However, it is heartbreaking that all the players played their best but had to leave empty-handed. Worse, an individual's mistake became the main cause."

In response to the harsh reactions from Malaysian fans, goalkeeper Haziq Nadzli’s wife, Eyra Hazali, expressed her dissatisfaction. She said that Haziq Nadzli had given his all and hoped that Malaysian fans would be more careful in their behavior when making comments.

“The insults you keep saying are hard for us to accept. They are all insults, wishing my husband to be paralyzed and even involving our children. These are extremely harsh words. I hope that after these comments, there will be no consequences for your family. And we are always with Haziq Nadzli no matter what the circumstances are,” Eyra Hazali said on her Instagram account.

Coach defends

In the post-match press conference, Malaysia coach Pau Marti also mentioned goalkeeper Haziq Nadzli's mistake. He shared: "Goalkeepers' mistakes are always punished because it is an important position. But in the end, it is the team's fault. I think the Malaysian goalkeeper did very well. I am not disappointed or blaming anyone. The players are only human and tried very hard in this difficult match. The Malaysian team must try to support each other and not blame individuals."

Losing 0-1 to Thailand, the Malaysian team is currently having difficulty getting a ticket to the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024. The "Malaysian Tiger" has only 4 points after 3 matches, falling to 3rd place in Group A. In the final match of the group stage, Malaysia will return home, having an important encounter with Singapore (December 20).
