Malaysia XI vs Manchester United

Truly saying, among the best performance shown by Malaysian football team since then. For me they really show what Malaysians are made of : spirit.

The game starts quick-paced, with MU overpowers the M'sian with their sheer height and possession of the ball. And after 9 minutes, M'sian defense were shattered by a goal from Wayne Rooney. And he amazes us again with his quick feet and gives away pass for Nani to finish it off.

But Sir Alex Ferguson's happiness and joy turns into agony when MU defense let loose for Amri Yahyah, M'sian forward strikes a lob ball, high enough to pass Edwin van der Sar, back into his net. The Malaysian skipper once again proves his reliability after 5-year absence from Malaysian team, when he didn't miss a chance after Ben Foster, subbed from van der Sar, slipped the ball and the pacey Amri chases and nudged the ball into the net, making the scoreline 2-2.

Both team created a lot of chances, and this time, after a lot of players subbed, United's rookie player Darron Gibson slipped a pass through M'sian defense and towards Ryan Giggs, making Malaysian keeper, Mohd Farizal Marlias to slide forward only making a rebound for Michael Owen, United's latest signings shot in the victory goal.

It is maybe a satisfying match, but what really disappoints me is although Bukit jalil Stadium is full, but all I see is red or white jerseys everywhere, but not a stripe of black and yellow. This is quite a shame, when even Malaysian does not support their own team.



That's all, Majulah Sukan untuk Negara!!
