WIN OVER MAN-U ACADEMY
10th May, 2006 – The Malaysian national U20 team completed their tour of England with a 4-1 win over the Manchester United Academy team this afternoon.
The side under K. Rajagobal had earlier beaten Salford FA 3-0 in their first friendly before winning 2-0 over Stoke City on the weekend.
And today, the team took a 2-1 at the break with goals coming off Mohd Farderin Kadir in the 29th minute and Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak’s 20metre freekick with five minutes remaining to the break.
The several substitutions in the second half failed to disrupt the momentum of the squad when they added two more goals through Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak in the 56th minute and Safiq Jamal in the 84th minute.
“The match today was their best game in the three matches which they played during their tour of England,” said Dato’ Seri Dr Ibrahim Saad, the general secretary of the FA of Malaysia (FAM), who witnessed the match.
“But I believe that the more positive lesson is that the team maintained its shape even though the coach made a lot of changes to give everyone the chance to play.
“From this positive showing, their tour of Slovakia next will be another positive development in preparation for the AFC meet (in India in October).”
The tam leaves for Slovakia tomorrow where they have been slated to play against two professional teams as well as a third game against the Slovakia national U20 side.
