With the pressure of winning the first gold medal in football since 1989 Southern Economic Association, USA Games, also in Malaysia, and in front on the home fans, Kamarulzaman, who until then were playing the best football of his career, made a grave mistake.
A harmless cross from Sarawut Treephan, was deflected by Kamarulzaman who try to clear it, into the back of his own Netto.
The goal, three minutes from full-time, proved to be the winning goal for Thailand. Kamarulzaman, blamed for the Malaysia loss, never played for Malaysia again.
