Laos

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.

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.

For the second consecutive AFF Championship, Laos clearly have one eye on the future given the youthful and inexperienced squad selected by coach Michael Weiss -- with 12 of their 23 players aged 21 or younger, including five 18-year-olds. The Laotians ...

In the 77th minute a defensive error by Anantaza Siphongphan saw Muhammad Haqimi slam in a thunderous volley into goal for Malaysia’s fourth goal of the night while Wilkin struck from outside the box in the 87th minute to make it 5-0 after a swift move from the left. The injection of Brendan Gan and Naturalised player Lee Tuck showed a lot of urgency in attack and Mohamad Faisal who scored the only goal against Myanmar on Wednesday, headed in a pin-point cross from Safawi in the 65th minute and buried another header three minutes later after another superb cross from Mohd Nor Hakim from the left. KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia whipped Laos 5-0 to register their second consecutive win in a AFF Cup Group B match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, and move to the top of the group.
