Malaysia Thrash Sierra Leone To Enter Semis
PETALING JAYA, Oct 18 (Bernama) -- Malaysia thrashed Sierra Leone 4-0 in a Group A match in the 40th edition of the Merdeka Cup football tournament at the Petaling Jaya Stadium here Thursday night.
The win earned them a semifinal ticket as there are only two groups of four teams each competing in the tournament.
Both teams had difficulty adapting to the pitch which became soggy following a heavy downpour and the ice was broken only in the 69th minute when midfielder Mohd Hardi Jaafar netted Malaysia's first goal which sent the 3,000-odd home fans present into a frenzy.
Mohd Safee Mohd Sali made it two up in the 74th minute and twins Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak and Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak completed the rout when they netted a goal each in the 78th and 92nd minutes respectively.
Malaysia now top group A in the table standing after collecting six points from two wins. On Wednesday they beat Nepal by the same margin.
