Hasrat Malaysia tertangguh


SKUAD Malaysia (kiri) tewas kepada Indonesia pada pusingan separuh akhir semalam.

HASRAT Malaysia untuk layak ke pusingan akhir Kejuaraan Futsal Asia 2010 lebih awal tertangguh setelah tewas 3-5 kepada Indonesia pada separuh akhir Pusingan Kelayakan ASEAN di Jakarta, Indonesia petang semalam.

Tempoh lima minit pada pertengahan separuh masa kedua menjadi detik pemusnah skuad negara apabila gawang mereka dibolosi sebanyak empat kali oleh pasukan tuan rumah.

Malaysia bagaimanapun berjaya mengejutkan Indonesia apabila mendahului 1-0 pada separuh masa pertama menerusi jaringan Fadzil Ab. Karnim yang menyudahkan hantaran Fairuz Mohd. Noor pada minit ke-17.

Biarpun berjaya meneruskan rentak dan mempertahankan kekuatan mental sepanjang 11 minit babak kedua berlangsung, kemusnahan skuad negara akhirnya berlaku bermula minit ke-31.

Kelalaian pemain negara menghalang Jaelani Ladjanibi membolehkan pemain Indonesia itu melakukan rembatan kencang dari luar kotak penalti menewaskan Firdaus Razali untuk gol penyamaan.


Seminit kemudian, Indonesia mendahului 2-1 setelah sepakan penjuru Jaelani ditolak masuk dengan pantas oleh Angga Surya Saputra.

Jaelani mengukuhkan kedudukan dengan gol ketiga hasil sepakan penalti pada minit ke-34 dan gol keempat Indonesia menyusul seminit kemudian hasil jaringan Jefri Purba melalui serangan balas.

Ketinggalan 1-4, Malaysia masih mempamerkan semangat dan berjaya memperolehi gol kedua menerusi rembatan kencang Khairul Rizuan Harif Pagilah pada minit ke-36.

Namun keghairahan Malaysia untuk menambah jaringan dihukum dengan gol kelima Indonesia menerusi serangan balas disudahkan Sayan Karmadi pada minit ke-38.

Malaysia berjaya memperoleh gol ketiga menerusi rembatan Muizzudin Haris tetapi ia sudah terlambat untuk menyekat kemaraan Indonesia melangkah ke perlawanan akhir hari ini.

"Perlawanan cukup sengit dengan pemain kita menghadapi keadaan genting dari segi mental. Tapi mereka berjaya harunginya dengan baik.

"Cuma kita melakukan beberapa kesilapan mudah yang membenarkan Indonesia memperoleh gol. Kelalaian pemain telah membawa padah.

"Saya berharap pemain lupakan kekalahan ini dan beraksi bermati-matian pada perlawanan tempat ketiga," kata jurulatih negara, Maizal Hairi Marzuki pada sidang media selepas perlawanan tersebut.

Daripada tujuh pasukan yang bertanding pada Pusingan Kelayakan ASEAN bermula Sabtu lalu, hanya tiga pasukan terbaik akan layak ke pusingan akhir di Uzbekistan Mei depan.

Dalam satu lagi perlawanan separuh akhir semalam, Australia menepati ramalan apabila menewaksan Vietnam 4-1.

Kemenangan itu membolehkan Austrlaia untuk membuat perhitungan dengan Indonesia pada aksi final hari ini sementara Vietnam akan menentang Malaysia.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
