Futsalroos' fantastic comeback win over Malaysia

The Futsalroos have got off to a fantastic start in the AFC championships coming back from a goal down to defeat Malaysia 2-1 in Tashkent overnight.

Two goals in a blistering five-minute spell in the second half to Aussies Jarrod Basger and Greg Giovenali made the difference as the Futsalroos got off to a perfect start in the tournament. 

Earlier, the Malaysians profited from an Aussie turnover just  before the break to lead 1-0 at half-time. 

Another hero for Australia was Angelo Konstantinou, who made some great saves including a crucial one-on-one save halfway through the second half to deny the Malaysians. 

Futsalroos celebrate a goal against Malaysia.

Malaysia utilised their power play and went to fifth man for the last three minutes but Australia defended well and held out for a 2-1 win to start the tournament with a great win. 

The Futsalroos' next game is on February 13 against Qatar.
