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.
