Malaysia fail to find breakthrough against 10-man Indonesia in Asean Cup

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia failed to capitalise on a one-man advantage as they were held to a 0-0 draw by hosts Indonesia in their second Group A match of the FIFA Asean Cup at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Monday (Sept 28).

Indonesia midfielder Thom Haye was sent off in the 35th minute after a video assistant referee (VAR) check for a dangerous challenge on Malaysian winger Arif Aiman Hanapi.

South Korean referee Ko Hyung-jin initially showed the yellow card, but upgraded it to a red after reviewing the foot-on-ankle challenge on the pitch-side monitor.

The match remained goalless at the break, and the second half was just as cagey, with both sides cautious in their approach.

Malaysia created chances through Arif and substitute striker Paulo Josue, but lacked sharpness in front of goal, with their finishing and aerial efforts off target.

Indonesia centreback Elkan Baggott had a superb outing, particularly in his man-marking of Bergson da Silva, while goalkeeper Maarten Paes also produced key saves to salvage a point.

Despite playing with 10 men, Indonesia still tried to hit Malaysia on the counter, but were often stifled by the offside trap set by centrebacks Bradley Tapp and Dion Cools.

Malaysia enjoyed the bulk of possession but could not turn it into goals as the Indonesians held firm to get the draw.

Malaysia conclude their group campaign against Singapore on Oct 1, while Indonesia take on Bangladesh.

Harimau Malaya will need a win to reach the final, or at the very least, secure a place in the third-fourth playoff.

八打灵再也：周一（9月28日），在雅加达格罗拉蓬卡诺体育场举行的FIFA东盟杯A组第二场比赛中，马来西亚队未能利用人数优势，最终与东道主印度尼西亚队0-0战平。

比赛进行到第 35 分钟时，印尼中场球员汤姆·海耶因对马来西亚边锋阿里夫·艾曼·哈纳皮的危险铲球而被视频助理裁判 (VAR) 判罚出场。

韩国裁判高亨镇最初出示了黄牌，但在场边监视器上回看脚踩脚踝的犯规动作后，将黄牌改判为红牌。

上半场双方仍以0-0战平，下半场双方同样谨慎，比赛节奏也十分缓慢。

马来西亚队通过阿里夫和替补前锋保罗·若苏埃创造了一些机会，但在门前缺乏把握机会的能力，他们的射门和高空球都偏离了目标。

印尼中后卫埃尔坎·巴戈特表现出色，尤其是在盯防贝尔格森·达席尔瓦方面，而门将马尔滕·帕埃斯也做出了关键扑救，帮助球队挽回一分。

尽管只有 10 人应战，印尼队仍然试图通过反击打击马来西亚队，但经常被中后卫布拉德利·塔普和迪翁·库尔斯设置的越位陷阱所扼杀。

马来西亚队控球时间占优，但未能将优势转化为进球，印尼队稳住阵脚，最终双方战平。

马来西亚将于10月1日与新加坡进行小组赛最后一场比赛，而印度尼西亚将迎战孟加拉国。

马来亚虎队需要一场胜利才能晋级决赛，或者至少要确保获得三四名决赛的资格。
