Malaysia lost heavily before facing Vietnam. |
In a closed friendly match held at Bukit Jalil Stadium, Malaysia suffered a 0-3 defeat to Cape Verde. This was a rematch between the two teams after the "Harimau Tigers" had previously held their opponents to a 1-1 draw at the end of May.
Cape Verde, ranked 72nd in the FIFA rankings, boasts a number of players playing in Europe. In the first friendly match, Malaysia took the initiative to control the ball and create a balanced game, but could not maintain the advantage, allowing the opponent to open the score in the 8th minute and only equalize in the second half.
In contrast to the performance in the previous match, the rematch on June 3 was more tense as Malaysia did not create many dangerous opportunities. Cape Verde played tightly and took advantage of the opportunity to score 3 consecutive goals, with 2 goals scored in the first half of the second half, thereby winning convincingly.
The defeat is a valuable lesson for coach Peter Cklamovski's team before entering the important match with Vietnam on June 10, also at Bukit Jalil, in Group F of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. It will be a big challenge as Malaysia needs to improve a lot in terms of tactics and mentality to gain points in this difficult battle.
