WC 2014 Qualifiers: The Lions denied Malaysia for WC dream spot

Malaysia again have to wait for their dream to play in the World Cup after Singapore held the host nation 1-1 last night in the 2nd leg of the 2nd round.

Singapore who won 5-3 in the 1st leg at Jalan Besar Stadium, came to Bukit Jalil was to hold the 2 goals deficits and conquered the possession of the ball last night. Malaysia failed to broke the deadlock in the 1st half and have to thanks his GK, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat who denied 2 point blank shot from Qui Li in the 1st half.

In the 2nd half, Malaysia change the tactical to attacking and they deserve a goal lead through their prolific striker, Safee Sali in the 57 mins. But Shi Jiayi cancelled out in th 71st min after snatched a one on one situation.

Overall, Malaysia with 90,000 fans behind them, played very well compared to their 1st leg but only the experience are the main barriers to the youngsters.
