AFF Championship

Welcome to VAVEL.COM's coverage of Malaysia vs Laos in the Mitsubishi Electric AFF 2022 Cup. My name is Manuel Carmona Hidalgo and I will be your antifriacute; ...

The two teams will be in Group B alongside Vietnam, Singapore and Myanmar. The national team of Laos has only played during this 2022 a total of six friendly matches in which it has won three and lost three others. In their first match of this tournament they defeated Myanmar by the narrowest of margins and are now second in group B. A total of 20 times Malaysia and Laos have faced each other, with Malaysia winning on 14 occasions. They also qualified for the AFC Asian Cup this year by finishing second in the group with six points and the third best second place. Chony Wenpaserth currently plays as a striker for Ezra.

With Malaysia and Singapore picking up wins, we look at four things we learned from Saturday's Group B action at the 2022 AFF Championship.

“This is in view of the rainy conditions almost daily in the Klang Valley area, especially in the evenings and nights.

Substitute Haqimi Azim Rosli, who came on in the 75th minute, got his first goal for Malaysia in the 77th minute when he controlled Safawi’s cross and unleashed a venomous volley to give Malaysia a 4-0 lead. The nippy and tiny winger, only 1.58m tall, scored his first goal in the 65th minute when Safawi Rasid placed a sumptuous cross from the centre of the field, in which Faisal timed his header to perfection. Malaysia first scored in the 29th minute when playmaker Sergio Aguero finished off a low-drilled cross from the left from winger Norhakim Hassan.

Singapore turned the scoreline around for their first win against Myanmar, who finished the game with ten players.

They also met this year in this tournament in the group stage round in which Singapore won 3-0. The last time these two teams met was earlier this year in the Asian Cup qualifiers in which Singapore won 2-6. While in the Asian Cup qualifiers they have been left out by finishing third with only three points. He has also played several matches with the team of the lower category in which he played two matches and scored five goals. Myanmar arrives after playing three friendly matches where they lost against Thailand and with Hong Kong they played two matches, in one they drew and in the other they lost. In their first match of the competition they were defeated by 0-1 against Malaysia and had the equalizer at the end of the match, but wasted a penalty.

Singapore have notched their first 3 points in the tournament and play Laos next on Dec 27. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Ilhan, who inspired the comeback, looked to be in tears when he was subbed off in the 54th minute, while the outstanding van Huizen also hobbled off in the 67th minute, and Man of the Match Shawal Anuar was unable to walk to the post-match press conference. It is hard to explain, maybe it was due to the pressure, but this is not the way to defend. For the third goal, coming from a long goal kick, I haven’t seen this type of goal since I was 12. Shawal, who scored his fifth international goal in 22 caps, said: “We went all out and deserved the three points. The goalkeeper did not come out for it. Nishigaya said: “We knew this would be a tight match, and I’m so happy with this result.

Mohamad Faisal, who scored the only goal against Myanmar in Group B opener on Wednesday, headed in a pin-point cross from skipper Muhammad Safawi Rasid in the 65th minute and buried another header three minutes later after another superb cross from Mohd Nor Hakim Hassan from the left. “You know it’s difficult to share on individual (praise any player) because what was more concerning is on the team as a whole but I believe he (Faisal) is good,” he told a post-match press conference last night.
