Man Utd Asia Tour 2009: Malaysia vs Man Utd REMATCH!!

Watching Manchester United playing twice in two days was like a gift from god to us, Malaysian. I definitely would not miss the chance to see my favorite team playing in front of me. Live!. The rematch was not in early plan of Man Utd Asia Tour 2009. It was a last minute plan because Man Utd canceled their trip to Jakarta.

I actually work on Monday and finish at 1900 (GMT +8). Due to not feeling well, I took half day emergency leave and a rest before I headed to the stadium. I reached there about 1700 and straight away queuing to get the tickets for me and a friend of mine. I paid RM58 each, RM40 lower than first match.



We entered the stadium and we got a better seat than previous match. Maybe because of Monday, peoples have to finish their work before heading to stadium. I was waiting about 2 hours inside the stadium before the kick-off. I had nothing to do inside the stadium except shoot candid. Lucky, I have a friend to talk with.











About 15 minutes before the game started, the screen showed the line up of Malaysia and Manchester United. Not much different from Malaysia but totally brand new first eleven for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, except Johnny Evans. Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Michael Carrick, Michael Owen and other 6 were in the first eleven for Manchester United side.





The game played by Malaysia was not good as the first match but still, Malaysia had a few good chances to score goal. It was not because of lack in finishing, Bukit Jalil stadium would be crazy as the first match when Amri Yahyah scored twice.

The game was ended by 2-0 to United, goals from Federico Macheda and Michael Owen. The crowd was not pack as the first match, about 40000 in the stadium. Enjoy the action on the rematch day:
