The decision to field the entire national team with the Lions XII
may not go down too well with some quarters of the fans who many felt
players in the S
.League are being overlooked by coach Raddy in this friendly fixture against Malaysia.

| It was thought to be game over when Malaysians scored their second |
With a depleted
strikeforce
that saw Agu Casmir upfront as the solo man, the Lions were literally
struggled to break down the resilient Harimau's defence for large part
of the first half, except for a few sporadic chances that were well
defused at the nick of time and only to concede the lead to the visitors
when Azamuddin Akil scored before the interval.

| Shahdan Sulaiman's 86th minute goal changed the game. |
Just as the
game was thought to go Malaysia way after Safiq Rahim netted home the
second goal in the second period of play, Shahdan Sulaiman reduced the
deficit in the dying minutes under controversial circumstances before
substitute Qiu Li's strike in injury time ensured Singapore's undefeated
record against it's biggest rivals remain intact.

(P.S: Can't remember when was the last time my hair stand in a football match when Qiu Li levelled the game)
Whats the reason for awarding the indirect freekick inside the box?? Anybody know??

ReplyDeleteIt was a close call for Singapore. But I think that it is great that Malaysia is improving because nobody wants to watch games that they are one sided.
