Showing the eye-opening 8-1 defeat to Asian heavyweights Iran last week had not dented their confidence, the Kapuls took an early sixth minute lead through Nigel Dabinyaba, who capitalised on a poor clearance and stunned the home crowd.
A volley from Ahmad Hazwan Bakri brought Malaysia level in the 21st minute and the comeback was completed when Alwin Komolong brought down Darren Lok in the penalty area just after halftime, and Amri Yahyah converted from the spot.
