AFF SUZUKI CUP: Rajagobal's men turn on the power in second half

MALAYSIA'S AFF Suzuki Cup fate is in their own hands as they woke up in the second half to send a plucky Laos packing 4-1 in their Group B clash at the National Stadium last night.

Malaysia, after a bright start, lost their way after taking the lead in the 15th minute as Laos pulled themselves back into the tie.

A second half blitz, however, means Malaysia will advance to the last four if they beat Indonesia in their final group match on Saturday.

National coach K. Rajagobal, as promised, made four changes to his line-up, opting for goalkeeper Farizal Marlias instead of Khairul Fahmi Che Mat while right-back Mahalli Jasuli stood-in for Bunyamin Umar.

Defensive midfielder Amar Rohidan did not make the final-18 and taking over was Shakir Shaari. Young Tigers winger Wan Zack Haikal Wan Noor earned his first start in the tournament, replacing Khyril Muhymeen Zambri.

Laos, though well-organised, were prone to mistakes and they were almost punished in the 10th minute by Safee Sali when the striker picked up a wayward pass but his shot from inside the penalty box sailed wide.

Two minutes later, S. Kunanlan controlled the ball with his chest to evade a challenge from Kovanh Namthavixay before his low cross was met by Safee but the Pelita Jaya player shot straight to goalkeeper Sengphachan Bounthisanh.

Malaysia's persistence was, however, rewarded in the 15th minute when Norshahrul Idlan Talaha was fouled outside the box.

Captain Safiq Rahim stepped-up and slammed a spectacular effort into the top corner of the Laos goal mouth for the lead. It was also his first goal in the AFF Cup since his debut in the 2008 edition.

Unfortunately, Malaysia spurned several chances after that and Laos made them pay when, against the run of play, they equalised in the 39th minute.

Khonesavanh Sihavong was sent through and the winger's shot deflected off centre-back Aidil Zafuan Radzak and over keeper Farizal to silence the Malaysian fans.

The second half -- at the start at least -- saw Malaysia again wasteful in front of goal as chance after chance was spurned.

To their credit, Malaysia continued pressing and in the 67th minute, Safee atoned for his numerous earlier misses by finding the back of the net.

A quick break on the left saw Wan Zack Haikal making most of the space as Laos defenders scrambled to get into position, and his square pass was met by Safee, who in turn lopped the ball over the keeper to become Malaysia's all-time top-scorer in the AFF Cup with eight goals.

In the 77th, Wan Zack Haikal scored his third international goal with a free header, off a cross from S. Kunanlan.

Khyril Muhymeen Zambri added the fourth just two minutes after he replaced Safee in the 79th minute with a fine solo effort.

The fight was out of Laos but Malaysia will have to raise their game against Indonesia on Saturday if they want to make the semis.

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012: Nervy Vietnam pay heavy price

DISASTER: They could miss semi-finals for the first time since 2004

CHIEF coach Phan Thanh Hung admitted Vietnam froze in their AFF Suzuki Cup Group A loss to the Philippines on Tuesday.

Emilio Caligdong slammed in the only goal of the game in the 85th minute to revive Philippines' hopes and send Vietnam into a precarious position of not making the semi-finals for the first time since 2004.

"We froze," said Thanh Hung. "We made a lot of wrong passes and I thought that the loss came from our own mistakes. It is our worse game since I took over this team.

"I think that the problem was that no one was pushing the team on the pitch. There were psychological issues where there was no good movement with the ball."

With the loss, Vietnam have little choice but to beat Thailand tomorrow which, even then, may not be enough as either the Philippines or Myanmar can also advance to the last four.

Philippines chief coach Michael Weiss was not too buoyed by the win.

"We have to re-strategise for our next match and I would like to point out that Myanmar are not the weakest team in the group." aseanfootball.org

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012 : Second half blitz puts champs Malaysia back on track

 IT TOOK some tweaking but Datuk K. Rajagopal’s men finally got their act together to maul Laos 4-1 in their AFF Suzuki Cup Group B match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil – and revive their chances of checking into the semi-finals. 

The Harimau Malaya began with a venom, playing with aggression and determination. It was no surprise when skipper Mohd Safiq Rahim scored from a free-kick in the 15th minute. 

That should have sparked a goal rush, instead the early fire fizzled out. 

And it allowed Laos to hit back through Khonesavanh Sihavong’s deflected effort in the 38th minute. 

The teams trooped off at half-time even stevens. 

This forced Rajagopal to tinker with his game plan and it worked wonders. 

“I told the players to play with aggression and they did,” he said. 

The Tigers went on to score three goals in a 13-minute spell through striker Safee Sali (66th), Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor (75th) and Mohd Khyrill Muhymeen Zambri (79th). 

“Safee’s goal was the turning point … the match could have gone either way until he struck,” admitted Rajagopal. 

The coach, however, was quick to dismiss the victory and urged his players to focus on their final group match against Indonesia on Saturday. 

“We played well to win but we must forget this match and focus on Indonesia now,” said Rajagopal. 

In the other Group B match played earlier, Indonesia edged Singapore 1-0 to lead the group with four points. Singapore and Malaysia are tied on three points but the Lions are second on better goal difference. Laos are last with a single point. 

Rajagopal admitted that last night’s results have thrown Group B wide open, with all four teams still in the running for a place in the semi-finals. 

“The group has turned exciting following Indonesia’s win over Singapore. Everyone will be out for a good result on Saturday,” said Rajagopal 

Meanwhile, Laos coach Kokichi Kimura admitted that his defence was a letdown “as they were slow to close down the Malaysian players”. 

“We are an inexperienced side and were beaten by a better team. Matches like this help us gain more experience,” said Kimura. 

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012 : Indonesia in driver’s seat for semis after win over Lions

Indonesia boosted their hopes of a semi-final spot in the AFF Suzuki Cup when they edged Singapore 1-0 at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.  

Substitute Andik Vermansah scored a beauty from a set piece in the 87th minute to beat 10-man Singapore, who lost defender Mohd Irwan Shah in the 64th minute after he picked up a second yellow card.  

Singapore’s resilience was in tatters after Irwan’s sending off as Indonesia pressed forward in search of goals. 

Indonesia coach Nil Maizar was full of praise for his hard working charges, who are now one step closer to the semi-finals. 

“It was a good result before our final group match against Malaysia on Saturday. This has sparked new hope in us … that we can qualify for the semi-finals,” said a jubilant Nil Maizar. 

“We played better in the second-half … we controlled the match throughout. This is the perfect tonic for us.” 

Singapore coach Radojko Avramovic, however, was furious with the match official for not giving his team a penalty in the 73rd minute. 

Singapore forward Khairul Amri was tackled by Wahyu Wijiastanto but referee Ali Hasan Ebrahim of Bahrain controversially booked Khairul for simulation. 

“We should have earned a penalty when Khairul was fouled in the box. The outcome would have been different if we had been given a penalty,” said Avramovic, who felt that Andic’s goal was a fluke. 

“I think Indonesia got a lucky goal. Andik was trying to cross but the ball somehow went in. 

“With the situation now, we must do it the hard way. We must beat Laos if we want to be in the semi-finals.” 

Nil Maizar surprisingly started with four new faces, with Elie Aiboy wearing the captain’s armband in the absence of Bambang Pamungkas.  

Besides Elie, Novan Sasongko (defence), Vendry Mofu (midfield) and Rachmat Syamsudin (striker) were given a chance by the coach.  

Conspicuously absent from the starting line-up was Andik, who was arguably one of Garuda’s best performer in the 2-2 draw with Laos in their opening match.  

Singapore kept virtually the same team that beat Malaysia 3-0, with the injured Mohd Saiful Esah replaced by Irwan Shah.  

Both teams went straight for the jugular right from the start, with Elie keeping Singapore’s defence busy with his runs while Shahril Ishak was thrust in a forward position for Singapore. 

The introduction of Aleksandar Duric for the injured Harris Harun in the 39th minute gave the Lions more firepower, but Indonesia held their ground.  

Nil Maizar replaced the weary looking Elie for Andik in the second half to add more punch on the right flank and it worked. 

In the 64th minute, Singapore leftback Irwan, who was kept busy all night, was handed a second yellow card for a foul on Andik – just minutes after he had been shown his first.  

Ten-man Singapore, however, continued to put two men up front in search of a goal but it was Indonesia who struck, thanks a to peach of a free-kick goal by Andik three minutes from time. 

With four points in the bag and with one game left, it was enough for under-fire coach Nil Maizar to run to the stands where Indonesian fans encamped to celebrate the much-needed win when the final whistle blew.

KUALA LUMPUR: Percaturan ketua jurulatih kebangsaan, Datuk K.Rajagobal untuk meraih kemenangan pertama pada aksi Piala AFF Suzuki akhirnya tercapai selepas menewaskan Laos 4-1 pada aksi Kumpulan B Piala AFF Suzuki yang berlangsung di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Rabu.

Tewas 3-0 pada aksi pertama menentang Singapura pada Ahad lalu, ternyata skuad Harimau Malaya tampil dengan corak permainan yang lebih bertenaga dengan menguasai permainan selain turut melakukan beberapa percubaan ke arah gol.

Peluang untuk mencipta gol pertama hadir menerusi penyerang utama, Safee Sali pada minit ke-10, tetapi gagal disempurnakan dengan tepat.

Namun lima minit selepas itu, kapten negara, Safiq Rahim berjaya menghasilkan jaringan sulung melalui sepakan percuma yang tepat ke arah gawang yang dikawal Sengphachan Bounthisanh.

Sementara itu, aksi hambar penjaga gol utama negara, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat pada aksi pertama sebelum ini menjadikannya sebagai pemanas bangku pada aksi malam Rabu dengan digantikan Farizal Marlias.

Kegembiraan mendahului 1-0 tidak berpanjangan apabila Khonesavanh Sivavong menyamakan kedudukan pada minit ke-38 apabila tendangannya terkena kaki pertahanan negara, Mohamad Aidil Zafuan sebelum bola melambung ke arah gol.

Permainan separuh masa pertama kedua-dua pasukan terikat seri 1-1.

Bersambung ke babak kedua, Malaysia melakukan satu pertukaran dengan mengeluarkan Azmi Muslim digantikan Zubir Azmi.

Pasukan Laos yang dibimbing jurulatih dari Jepun, Kokichi Kimura dilihat bangkit melakukan permainan yang lebih pantas, namun benteng pertahanan Harimau Malaya gandingan Shakir Shaari, Fadhli Shaas serta Aidil Zafuan menyukarkan pemain-pemain Laos menembusi kawasan kotak penalti.

Selepas hampir tujuh kali gagal melakukan percubaan tepat, akhirnya Safee berjaya menambah jaringan kedua negara pada minit-66 melalui hantaran Wan Zack Haikal.

Permainan semakin rancak apabila Wan Zack menambah satu lagi jaringan Malaysia pada minit ke-75 selepas melakukan tandukan cantik di depan pintu gol.

Tiga cukup dengan tiga gol, skuad Harimau Malaya terus garang menambah jaringan menerusi Khyril Muhymeen yang gol keempat pada minit ke-79 selepas beberapa minit menggantikan Safee.

Kemenangan ini juga kembali menghidupkan semula harapan seluruh peminat bola sepak tanah air untuk melihat pasukan negara mara ke pusingan seterusnya sebelum bertemu pasukan Indonesia pada aksi terkakhir peringkat kumpulan Sabtu ini.

Satu perlawanan peringkat kumpulan ini yang turut berlangsung petang Rabu, menyaksikan Singapura tewas 1-0 kepada Indonesia.

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012 : Indonesia Minnows hold Asean powerhouse to a draw

Posted on November 26, 2012

by THE START online

Hard fall: Laos’ Ketsada Souksavanh is pushed by Indonesia’s Irfan Bachdim during the AFF Suzuki Cup Group B match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last night. The match ended 2-2.

KUALA LUMPUR: Laos arrived saying they are not here to make up the numbers.

Malaysia would be wise to take notice as the Laotians showed their capabilities with a superb 2-2 draw with 2010 runners-up Indonesia at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last night.

In fact, Laos came close to victory in a highly-charged match that saw a player from each side being given the marching orders.

The so called minnows were leading 2-1 with just a minute left when Indonesia’s substitute Vendry Mofu struck the equaliser that gave his side a precious point and saved their blushes.

Laos went one up in the 30th minute courtesy of a spot kick converted by Khampeng Sayavutthi after Vilayout Sayyabounsou was fouled by Indonesia’s goalkeeper Endra Suprapto.

Endra earned the first red card of the tournament for his rash challenge.

That forced the stunned Garuda to sacrifice winger Oktovianus Maniani to bring in reserve goalkeeper Wahyu Tri Nugroho.

The drama, however, continued. With Indonesia stepping up a gear and pinning Laos in defence, winger Sopha Saysana buckled. He lost his head with a bad tackle on Andik Vermansah and was shown a straight red by referee Ng Kai Lam of Hong Kong.

Indonesia continued to attack and were finally rewarded when Raphael Maitimo equalised in the 42nd minute.

A more organised and calmer Laos were a different side after the break. They dictated the pace and some fine interchanges in midfield saw Indonesia reeling. Indonesia took out their ineffective skipper Bambang Pamungkas and sent on Vendry in the 64th minute.

But Laos were not to be stopped.

They put the ball into the net in the 70th minute but Keonviengpheth Lithideth was judged to have handled the ball before his shot and that earned him a yellow card.

The long-awaited goal finally came in the 79th after Lithideth weaved past two defenders to score a screamer. Laos 2-1.

But Indonesia never lost heart and pushed up once again in search of the equaliser.

Laos lost their nerve under pressure and Mofu pounced to make it 2-2.

Laos coach Kokichi Kimura said he was satisfied with his team’s performance but felt they were unlucky not to win.

“I don’t know if the red card we got was justified but that’s football. We got in front first and the boys did well. I hope it will be better against Malaysia next,” he said.

Indonesia’s coach Nil Maizar was full of praise for his team’s fighting display.

“I’m very proud of the boys. They kept fighting until the end. It was a difficult match as Laos are no pushovers. But we got a point and I can accept that,” he said.

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012 : Tigers are pussycats in the face of Lions’ onslaught

Posted on November 26, 2012

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia looked lost in every corner of the pitch and hopeless in front of goal as they crashed to a humiliating 3-0 defeat to bitter rivals Singapore in their opening AFF Suzuki Cup Group B match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

It was a similar start to their 2010 campaign when they lost 5-1 to Indonesia in their opening match. But, then, Malaysia went on to win the tournament.

Singapore were in total control with skipper Shahril Ishak scoring a brace in the 32nd and 37th minutes with substitute Aleksandar Duric adding the third in the 75th minute to hand the Lions a perfect start.

Yesterday’s defeat was Malaysia’s 12th in their last 13 meetings with their neighbours.

The writing was on the wall for Malaysia, who had a poor run-up to the tournament with defeats to Vietnam (1-0) and Thailand (2-0) and 1-1 draws with Hong Kong and Bangladesh in a series of friendly matches.

National coach Datuk K. Rajagopal only made two changes to the squad which was held 1-1 by Bangladesh in their final warm-up match last Tuesday.

Rajagopal brought in goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat and Mohd Azmi Muslim and the duo were at fault for conceding the goals.

A miscommunication between Fahmi and Azmi enabled Shahril to sneak in the opener after collecting a long range pass from Mohd Shaiful Esah.

Five minutes later, highly-rated Fahmi blundered again as he palmed Shahdan Sulaiman’s free-kick behind forcing Mohd Fadhli Shas to clear off the line. However, the weak clearance was headed in by the lurking Shahril.

The Malaysian attack led by Norshahrul Idlan Talaha and Mohd Safee Sali could not best the Singapore defence marshalled by Baihaki Khaizan. who was dominant throughout.

Malaysian skipper Mohd Safiq Rahim and Amar Rohidan could not spark the attacks from the middle of the park, while flankers S. Kunalan and Mohd Khyrill Muyhmeen Zambri were ineffective with their predictable play.

The final humiliation came when the 42-year-old Duric, who replaced Shahril in the 73rd minute, showed how easy it was to beat the Malaysian defence by scoring the Lions’ third goal after being on the pitch for only two minutes.

Rajagopal brought on wingers Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor and Azamuddin Akil in a futile attempt to get back into the game.

But they were never going to be a threat — such is the pathetic state of Malaysian football.

All that time, all that money spent on a fool’s errand. Call the cops.

It is a crime to lose to Singapore like this.

AFF SUZUKI CUP 2012: Malaysia Tewas 3-0 Kepada Singapura

Penyerang negara, Nor Shahrul Idlan diasak pemain Singapura, Baihakki Khaizan (kiri) pada aksi peringkat kumpulan Piala AFF Suzuki pada Ahad.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pasukan Malaysia gagal mengekang asakan skuad Singapura selepas tewas 3-0 pada aksi Kumpulan B Piala AFF Suzuki di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Ahad.

Biarpun skuad Datuk K. Rajagobal mula melakukan serangan ke kubu lawan, namun mereka gagal melakukan cubaan tepat ke arah gol.

Penyerang paling bernilai negara, Norsharul Idlan Talaha dikawal ketat oleh pemain-pemain pertahanan Singapura.

Kealpaan benteng pertahanan Malaysia digunakan sepenuhnya oleh Shahril Ishak pada minit ke-31 sekaligus menewaskan penjaga gol negara, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.

Enam minit selepas itu, Shahril sekali lagi menjaringkan gol melalui tandukan sebelum babak pertama permainan tamat.

Sementara itu, pada babak kedua perlawanan, skuad Harimau Malaya bangkit melakukan pergerakan lebih pantas tetapi gagal menghampiri pintu gol yang dikawal rapi, Mohamad Izwan Mahbud.

Kelekaan pemain pertahanan sekali lagi memberi peluang kepada Singapura menambah jaringan apabila pemain gantian,Aleksander Quric tanpa kawalan menanduk mudah ke arah gawang pada minit ke-74.

Keputusan 3-0 mengakhiri permainan walaupun pada masa tambahan cubaan Nor Shahrul Idlan hampir meledak gol pertama negara, namun terkena tiang gol.

Rajagobal ternyata kecewa dengan keputusan ini sekaligus menuntur semua pemainnya mengubah keputusan pad aksi kedua bertemu laos nanti.

Katanya, kesilapan yang dilakukan oleh penjaga gol negara, Khairul Che Fahmi pada separuh masa pertama menyebabkan moral pemain pasukan kebangsaan terus merosot.

"Dia (Khairul Fahmi) membuat kesilapan dan memberi kesan kepada moral pemain...sejujurnya saya tidak menyangka kita akan tewas dengan keputusan malam ini.

"Saya cuma menjangkakan kita kalah dengan keputusan 0-1 atau seri dengan pasukan Singapura," katanya kepada pemberita selepas perlawanan tersebut.

Selepas keputuisan ini, beliau mengakui saingan mencari mata dalam peringkat kumpulan ini semakin sukar.

"Kita harus menempuhi jalan sukar selepas ini dan suka atau tidak, kita perlu mencatatkan kemenangan dalam dua baki perlawanan," katanya.

Selain itu, jurulatih Singapura Radojko Avramovic berkata beliau berpuas hati dengan prestasi anak buahnya dan berharap skuadnya dapat terus mengekalkan momentum dalam menentang Indonesia Rabu ini dan Laos pada 1 Dis ini.

"Ini adalah permulaan baik dan saya tabik anak buah saya atas usaha cemerlang mereka. Kadang-kadang kami bernasib baik untuk menghasilkan jaringan dan adakala sebaliknya," katanya.

Mengulas pertemuan antara Laos dan Indonesia sebelum ini, Avramovic berkata beliau terkejut dengan prestasi Laos yang berjaya mengikat lawannya 2-2.

"Secara umum, Laos mengejutkan saya. Saya percaya mereka datang untuk memenangi semua perlawanan dan tenaga yang ditunjukkan oleh Laos pada perlawanan pembukaan adalah hebat," katanya.

Malaysia, selaku juara bertahan akan menentang Laos Rabu ini sebelum mengakhiri saingan peringkat kumpulan dengan menentang Indonesia pada 1 Dis ini.
