From the moment fans started arriving to the Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta and the pictures from NSTP photographers there started to come in, the momentum started building.
By the kick-off, all eyes were on the TV sets in the office, yet also monitoring other news coming through. More pictures were coming in and put up, not only on the nst websiste but also on our facebook fanpage.
With the penalty saved, it was clear that facebook was going to be the fastest and best way to get the news across to readers, and they were clearly appreciative, as the record number of impressions, likes and comments showed.
As the final whistle blew, then came the race to get the results out to SMS subscribers, online to the website, followed by the link in the facebook fanpage.
Next came more pictures, this time showing the joyous celebrations from all walks of Malaysians across the country, from Jitra, Seremban, Kuantan, Malacca, Dataran Merdeka, and even the homes of the national team players' families. These too, went up on the website and facebook.
And just when you thought it was over, word started going around of a public holiday being announced to commemorate the win. As Wednesday came to a close, official confirmation came and this too was sent out to our readers and fans.
In the end, it was the wonderful emotion, pride, and affection that showed through every picture and each comment that made it all worthwhile.
Congratulations to the Malaysian team, coach, officials, and fans. And thank you, for letting us be a part of this victory.
