Malaysia suffered a 2-0 defeat to Syria in qualifying for the 2012 Men\'s Olympic Football Tournament today. Two second-half goals took Syria level on points with Group C leaders Japan in the Asian football qualifying for next year\'s Olympics, as Malaysia and Bahrain stayed rooted at the bottom, both yet to score a goal. Solaiman Solaiman\'s 52nd-minute goal looked to be the clincher in the tie at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, before substitute Nassouh Nakkdahli made sure for Syria with a second goal in the 88th minute.
