Malaysia vs United Arab Emirates
Although difficult, Malaysia managed to open a Group G qualifier with a victory. The second party they face a more severe test against the UAE. The match was held on Tuesday (10/9) night at Bukit Jalil Stadium.
Malaysia began their campaign with the El Clasico party against Indonesia. The match drew 2-2 before Mohamadou Sumareh scored his second goal in the 97th minute, as well as locking up the victory for Malaysia.
Meanwhile, tomorrow’s match will be the first match for the UAE. They are more favored than Malaysia after successfully breaking through the AFC Cup semifinals. The journey begins with victories over India and two draws against Bahrain and Thailand during the group qualifiers. Next they won over Kyrgyzstan and Australia, only then lost to Qatar who finally came out as champions.
This success will be a very valuable capital for Qatar. Moreover, if they also keep a sweet record for Malaysia, which won 10-0 and 1-2, when brought together at the same event three years ago.
It’s just that the strength of the host is far different now, especially with the arrival of a number of naturalized players, such as Matthew Davies, Dominic Tan, La’vere Corbin-Ong, and Mohamadou Sumareh who yesterday scored twice. With its new strength, Malaysia will try to stop the bad record against the UAE.
