Malaysia put 10 past Indonesia in U-18 Asia Cup rout
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia hammered Indonesia 10-0 to secure their second straight win in Group B of the Under-18 Asia Cup at Dazhou Stadium in China on Friday.
The young Malaysians found the net through captain Iman Faris Faizo (3rd, 20th minutes), Safwan Salihe (24th, 50th, 60th), Saiful Syahy (25th), Izz Ilhan Azrul Ridzuan (27th), Hisyammudin Abdul Rani (44th), Aferullsyah Ahmad Azuan (47th) and Rafiq Raze (54th).
Midfielder Harieq Afi Rishaudin was rested after sustaining a head injury in Malaysia's 4-0 win over Kazakhstan on Thursday, which required four stitches.
Head coach Sufian Mohd was pleased with the dominant display but stressed the need to improve from set-pieces.
"My forwards played well against a defensive Indonesia. We scored six goals from penalty corners and four from open play," said Sufian.
Malaysia will next face Taiwan on Sunday.
