Malaysia finished at the third position in Group D of the second round of World Cup qualifiers courtesy of collecting 10 points from six outings. Only the top two teams progressed to the next round. After a run of seven consecutive competitive games without a victory, Harimau Malaya secured all three points against Chinese Taipei in June thanks to second-half efforts from Safawi Rasid, Paulo Josue and Adib Ra'op.
