MALAYSIA BEAT INDONESIA 3-0
AHMAD ERWAN OTHMAN AND FARHANAH AZMI
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 27 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will go to Jakarta well cushioned
after beating Indonseia 3-0 in the first leg of the 2010 AFF-SUZUKI Cup final at
the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil here Sunday night.
Mohd Safee Mohd Sali was the Malaysian hero, scoring two goals, in the 59th
and 71 minutes. Mohamad Ashari Samsudin's contribution came in the 67th minute.
The return match will be played at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta
this Wednesday to decide who will lift the cup.
Playing before a crowd of 85,000, Malaysia started aggressively, launching a
series of attacks. The Indonesians were no pushoevers, and had a fair share of
the ball as they pushed foward.
About ten minutes after the break, with the match goaless, the atmosphere
became tense when Indonesian coach Alfred Riedl complained to referee Toma
Masaaki of Japan that a laser beam had been directed at his goalkeeper.
The game was stopped for five minutes to allow the situation to cool.
Indonesian fans threw mineral water bottles into the field while Malaysian
supporters hurled fire crackers.
The two sides became involved in a close tussle, but the charges of
K.Rajagobal prevailed when Safee Sali scored Malaysia's first goal.
Eight minutes later, Mohamad Ashari Samsudin, who replaced Amirulhadi
Zainal, made it 2-0 with a close range shot off a pass from Norshahrul who
eluded three defenders.
Mohd Safee nodded in the third goal from a pass that Mahalli Jasuli
delivered from outside the penalty box.
Rajagobal said at the post-match press conference that he was very
satisfied
with the performance of his team.
"In the first half, the players were more defensive. During the break I told
them this was the time for us to obtain a good advantage to take to Indonesia,"
he said.
Riedl noted that the final first-leg was a difficult task for his
team because of the scoreline.
"The Malaysian first goal was the turning point for the Indonesian team as
they lost focus on their game. I think there is a little chance to win it in
Jakarta but we need to take risks," he said.
Players:
MALAYSIA: Mohd Asraruddin Putra Omar, Safiq Rahim (captain), Mohd
Safee Mohd Sali (Mohd Amri Yahyah), Amar Rohidan, S. Kunanlan, Mahalili Jasuli
(Mohd Sabre Mat Abu), Mohd Amirulhadi Zainal (Mohamad Ashari Samsudin), Khairul
Fahmi Che Mat (GK), Mohamad Muslim Ahmad, Mohamad Fadhli Mohd Shas.
