YANGON (29 May 2016) – It was a drab draw for hosts Myanmar and Malaysia in a friendly that was played last night at the YTC Thuwunna Stadium.
In front of several thousand screaming fans, Than Paing’s 56th minute offside goal, underlined the frustration for both teams as Myanmar looked to gel a winning team ahead of their hosting of the AFF Suzuki Cup this November.
For Malaysia, they are using the match to prepare for the two-legged playoff matches against Timor Leste in the third round Asia Cup 2019 in Johor Bahru on 2 and 6 June.
Myanmar will also be playing in a Quadrangular tournament in early June against Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
