Jaringan Zaharul, Fazail cipta sorakan gemuruh di Stadium Shah Alam

HALANGAN pertama kelayakan pra-Olimpik sudah diatasi Ong Kim Swee dan anak buahnya apabila menewaskan Pakistan 2-0 di Stadium Shah Alam malam tadi, tetapi ia tidak cukup untuk mengatasi kerisauan yang bakal dihadapi jurulatih berkenaan.

“Selepas perlawanan, ada tiga perlawanan Liga Super yang perlu diharungi pemain sebelum kembali menyertai latihan pada 2 Mac,” kata Kim Swee dalam sidang akhbar selepas perlawanan.
“Ketika itu, saya perlu menilai semula siapa yang berada pada tahap kecergasan terbaik untuk dibawa ke Lahore. Siapa yang akan dipilih, saya perlu tunggu sehingga mereka melaporkan diri 2 Mac ini.”

Dua gol pada awal dan akhir babak pertama memberikan bekalan selesa buat skuad Olimpik negara sebelum membalas kunjungan ke Lahore 9 Mac ini.

Pada perlawanan malam tadi, skuad Kim Swee seharusnya menang dengan jumlah jaringan lebih besar tetapi beberapa percubaan tepat jentera serangan negara berjaya dipatahkan penjaga gol lawan, Yousuf Ejaz Butt.

Pujian harus diberi kepada Wan Zaharul Nizam Wan Zakaria atau lebih mesra dipanggil Kecik, yang membuka jaringan seawal minit keempat hasil rembatan menarik dari penjuru kotak penalti yang memperdayakan Yousuf untuk gol pertama negara.

Menghampiri waktu rehat, Pakistan terpaksa bermain dengan 10 orang selepas penyerangnya, Ansar Abbas dibuang padang kerana menendang penjaga gol negara, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat sebelum Mohd Irfan Fazail menambah gol kedua tuan rumah.

Pada babak kedua, skuad muda kebangsaan sepatutnya berpesta gol apabila dalam tempoh dua minit pertama, dua percubaan tepat dihasilkan, tetapi kali ini dinafikan Yousuf beraksi cemerlang sepanjang 45 minit terakhir.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

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...
