Even though, Laos team failed to qualify for semi-final AFF Suzuki Cup this year, it doesn't mean we do not want to know who will win the cup this year. Malaysia who lost the first match to Indonesia now go through to the final. Here's how!
Yesterday, 18th Saturday night Malaysia qualified for the final of the Suzuki Cup tournament after holding Vietnam to a 0-0 draw in the second leg semi-final at the My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The stalemate allowed the Malaysians to qualify for the final on 2-0 aggregate.
Striker Safee Sali had scored both the goals in Malaysia’s 2-0 first leg semi-final victory at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last Wednesday.
Malaysia will now meet either Indonesia or the Philippines, who will play in the second semi-final on Sunday night, in the two-legged final.
As we all know Laos team is qualified to play in next match in Jakata, Indonesia. First match they will play against Thailand team on 1 December, then on Saturday 4 December against Indonesia and third match on Tuesday 7 December against Malaysia. The two teams who have high scores will have a spot to play in semi-finals.
In 2008 Laos team played against Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia and here're the results:
Laos vs Malaysia: 0-3
Laos vs Thailand: 0-6
Laos vs Vietnam: 0-4
This scores give Laos team an expensive lessons that they have to train harder in order to beat the opponents. This year is the year that Laos team will show that they can do it and we're all behind you and fully support you Laos team. Su! Su! and good luck!
At the mean time, we just wait and see when the time have come. Win or lose is just a sport. The main goal is to get involve and try our best.
