Malaysia 0-2 Chelsea

29 July 2008, Shah Alam Stadium.
Chelsea wrapped up their Asian Tour in style after carving out a 2-0 win over a Malaysia Selection in front of some 50,000 fans at the Shah Alam Stadium. Nicolas Anelka put the Blues ahead in the 27th minute and Ashley Cole wrapped up the proceedings with the second in the 54th. Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari fielded a strong starting line-up, comprising three England internationals -- skipper John Terry, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole. The breakthrough came in the 27th minute when Anelka stole into the box to score past the onrushing goalkeeper Mohd Helmi Eliza Elias. The Kedah custodian, however, deserves praise as he had earlier made three superb saves, including a cracking first-timer by Chelsea new boy Deco in the 14th minute. Helmi had also stopped Anelka's low grounder in the 16th minute and Michael Essien's shot from inside the box in the 23rd minute. Big Phil then made four changes at the start of the second-half, bringing in Alex for Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole for Wayne Bridge, Florent Malouda for Cole and Paulo Ferreira for Shaun Wright Philips. At the half-way mark of the second-half, Scolari fielded Andriy Shevchenko for Deco, Carlo Cudicini for Cech and Franco Di Santo for Anelka. Cole had barely been on the pitch when he made his presence felt, connecting Lampard's pass into goal in the 54th minute.

Malaysia: Mohd Helmi Eliza Elias, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah, Irwan Fadzli Idrus (Asraruddin Putra Omar), Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak (S. Subramaniam), Mohd Fauzi Nan (Mohd Shafizan Hashim), Mohd Amirulhadi Zainal (Mohd Nizaruddin Yusop), Mohd Hardi Jaafar (Zairo Anuar Zailani), Indra Putra Mahayuddin (Mohd Ashari), Mohd Shukor Adan (Azi Shahril), Mohd Safee Sali (Mohd Zaquan), Hairuddin Omar (Mohd Khyril Muhymeen).

Chelsea: Petr Cech (Carlo Cudicini), John Terry (Branislav Ivanovic), Ricardo Carvalho (Alex), Wayne Bridge (Ashley Cole), Deco (Andriy Shevchenko), Michael Essien, Joe Cole (Florent Malouda), Shaun Wright Philips (Paulo Ferreira), John Mikel Obi, Frank Lampard, Nicolas Anelka (Franco Di Santo).

Chelsea seperti dijangka mudah menjinakkan skuad kebangsaan selepas menang 2-0 pada perlawanan persahabatan di Stadium Shah Alam. The Blues menjaringkan gol menerusi Nicolas Anelka (m-28) dan Ashley Cole (m-53). Gol pertama berpunca daripada satu serangan balas pantas selepas hantaran Mohd. Hardi Jaafar berjaya dirampas Joe Cole yang pantas melarikan bola dari bawah dan melorong kepada Anelka yang berada dalam kotak penalti sebelum melepaskan sepakan menewaskan Helmi Eliza Elias. Tanpa menurunkan Michael Ballack dalam kesebelasan utama, Chelsea menerusi satu gerakan menarik dari sebelah kanan gawang Malaysia masih tidak mampu dihalang untuk menjaringkan gol kedua oleh Ashley Cole. Ketangkasan penjaga gol, Helmi Eliza Elias berjaya menyelamatkan banyak percubaan berbahaya Chelsea.
