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.
