MALAYSIA IN SEMIS AFTER DRAW WITH ULSAN HYUNDAI

YANGON (15 Nov 2008) – A 1-1 draw against Ulsan Hyundai last night was enough to put Malaysia in the semi-finals of the Grand Royal Challenge Cup 2008 at the Thuwanna Youth Training Centre Stadium.

The Malaysians who had started their campaign in Group B of the annual championship with a strong 3-0 beating of Vietnam in their first game were again on form.

And this time, it was young striker Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak who made the difference when he scored Malaysia’s only goal in the game in the 52nd minute before the former South Korean champions found the equaliser.

Seo Syeong-hwan slammed home in the 83rd minute for both teams to share the one point.

Ulsan Hyundai will play Vietnam tomorrow to decide which team will join Malaysia in the final four of the championship on 18 Nov 2008.
