Malaysia scrapes into SEA Games football semi-finals

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia edged out Indonesia to qualify for the football semi-finals at the SEA Games in Bangkok, Thailand, after the defending champions failed to beat Myanmar by a three-goal margin, which was needed to reach the last four today.

Indonesia won 3-1 to finish as runner-up in Group C with three points and a goal difference of +1, the same as Malaysia in Group B, which was topped by Vietnam.

However, Malaysia narrowly advanced, having scored a total of four goals compared with Indonesia’s three.

Malaysia now face an uphill task in the semi-final against favourites Thailand, who are known for their strong performance on home soil.

Under this year’s new rules, only the top teams from the three groups advance to the semi-finals, with the final spot awarded to the best-performing runner-up.
