ASIAN CUP QUALIFYING: YEMEN 1 - MALAYSIA 2

Playing with 10-man for almost the entire match, Malaysia pulled off an amazing result by beating Yemen 2-1 in a Group D 2015 Asian Cup Qualifying match at the Tahnon Bin Mohamed Stadium in Al Ain City, Dubai yesterday.

Amirizwan Taj Tajudin was shown a straight red for what looked like nothing more than a mild tangle with a Yemen striker Sadam Hussein and Yemen were also awarded a dubious penalty by the referee. Though, Wahid Mohammed Al-khyat's tame spot kick was saved by Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.

The Harimau Malaya who were reduced to 10-man before the 10th minute played like real tigers to shock the Yemen side with Amri Yahya put Malaysia infront in the 16th minute. While Yemen lamented their missed chances, Amri shocked the home fans by giving Malaysia the lead.

The lead remained intact until the 60th minute before Mohammed Al-Sarori equalised with a clinical finish after a defence splitting pass from his skipper Ala Mohammed Abdullah Al-Sasi.
 
However, Yemen's joy was short-lived when Ahmad Fakri Shaarani scored a cheeky goal in the 76th minute to ensure all three points.

PHILIPPINES HELD MALAYSIA IN FRIENDLY MATCH


FRIENDLY MATCH: MALAYSIA 0 - PHILIPPINES 0

Flares, smoke bombs disrupted of Malaysia-Philippines friendly. The match was stopped for eight minutes by Referee Mohd Amirul Izwan Yaacob after flares and smoke bombs were thrown onto the track on Saturday night.

The match ended in a goalless draw. Malaysia was very unfortunate in the “A” international friendly which saw a valid goal from Amiridzwan Taj's header in the 14th minute disallowed for handball, while attempts by Aidil Zafuan (15th), Safiq Rahim (16th) and Amri Yahyah (18th) were all denied by the woodwork.


Before the eight-minute interruption, Malaysia were dominating the game and looked much more dangerous with winger Amri combining well with strikers Safee Sali and Bobby Gonzales to press the Philippines' backline.

Malaysia returned for the second half and looked much more enterprising under the guidance of Ong Kim Swee, who handed goalkeeper Mohd Khairulazhan Mohd Khalid and midfielder Mohd Hafiz Kamal their first cap.


The Philippines was denied for a penalty in the 90th minute after defender Mohd Asraruddin brought down Jason De Jong. The Philippines played a solid defensive game to extend Malaysia's winless record against them to three matches.
