Football: Axe to fall on five
By ERIC SAMUEL
PETALING JAYA: At least five players will be axed following the national football team's dismal
outing in the playing tour of Slovakia recently.
Malaysia lost three matches and drew one in the tour.
National material: Kedah striker Mohd Khyril Muhymeen (right) has been picked by national coach B.
Tonight sees the second leg of the AFC Cup quarter finals with all four local sides facing tough
challenges.
The two Singapore sides are marginally better off. SAF carry a narrow 2-1 lead to Al Nadha in Oman
but Datoma Yedibahoma's late penalty will have the hosts feeling confident knowing one goal would
be enough to put them in the semis.
If it's true that football is emotion then Home United and their supporters experienced the full
circle earlier this evening as they took on Dempo in the AFC Cup quarter final second leg at Jalan
Besar. 1-1 from the first leg the Protectors appeared to have the advantage of a crucial away goal
with coach Sivaji promising all out attack.
Here we sit between the first and second leg of the AFC Cup quarter finals and I can't help
thinking what's the point?
Of course it would be great for football in this region if SAF or Home United could go on and win
the trophy but I can't help thinking it would come at a price. And that price would be domestic
success.
Singapore Armed Forces poor form continues but this time they were lucky enough to get away with a
victory.Winston Yap accidentally own goal in the 87 minute gave SAFFC an undeserved win. Sengkang
has been containing their opponents well until they concede the goal.Overall,Wiston Yap,who played
extremely well in that match,deserved to be given the man [.

A lacklustre Pelita Jaya overcame Persiwa Friday night to prove the old adage the result is all
that counts.

goal in the 41th and 66th minute.Al-Nahda got a precious away goal through a penalty 5 minute from

De Oliviera.The defeat sent Home out of the tournament. Meanwhile,Al Nahda thrash the warriors 3-0
to book a place in the semi-final.
