AFC Cup 2008: Kedah 3-0 South China

AFC Cup 2008 -- 16 April 2008, Darul Aman Stadium, Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia.


Canaries soar past South China

ALOR STAR - Kedah took a big step towards qualification for the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup as three second-half goals gave the newly-crowned Malaysian Super League Champions a deserved 3-0 Group D victory over South China at Darulaman Stadium. The Canaries were by far the better side in the opening 45 minutes but for all their possession were unable to find the back of the net. But a half-time pep talk seemed to do the trick as James broke the deadlock after 55 minutes when the striker lost his marker to collect Hasmawi's cross and unleashed a low shot. The goal seemed to settle the hosts and they doubled their lead after 71 minutes when San Martin rifled home from the edge of the area. San Martin then made sure of the points five minutes from time when he followed up after Hasmawi's shot was parried by Zhang.


Kedah mara kelompok 16

KEDAH muncul pasukan pertama negara layak ke kelompok 16 pasukan terakhir pada pusingan kalah mati selepas mencatat kemenangan selesa 3-0 ke atas kelab dari Hong Kong, South China pada saingan Piala AFC 2008 di Stadium Darulaman. Meskipun pusingan kedua peringkat Kumpulan D masih berbaki dua perlawanan, Kedah berjaya menjarakkan kedudukan apabila mencatat dua kemenangan dengan kelab itu sekali gus menenggelamkan kekalahan besar 1-5 ke atas Home United. Kejayaan itu adalah hasil percaturan strategi jurulatih Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah yang mengubah beberapa posisi terutamanya pada separuh masa kedua selepas melihat pemain mudanya tidak menunjukkan prestasi dikehendaki. "Separuh masa pertama kami kurang menyerlah tapi saya mengambil tindakan drastik menggantikan pemain berpengalaman. Kami berjaya mencipta tiga gol selepas itu. "Kemenangan ini adalah kesinambungan dalam perlawanan lalu. South China, pasukan ini sudah kami tahu cara mereka beraksi dan ia memang memudahkan tugas kami meraih kemenangan itu," katanya. Ketiga-tiga gol Kedah dijaringkan Marlon Alex James m-54 dan Nelson Sam Martin (70, 85).
