Malaysia will play Myanmar in the Merdeka Tournament semi-final on Thursday after registering an easy 6-0 win over Afghanistan in their final Group A match at the National Stadium yesterday. It will be a repeat of last year's final, which Malaysia won 3-1, but the national side will start as favorites though Myanmar are packed with experienced players.
Yesterday, national coach B. Sathianathan opted to give his fringe players a chance to impress and they grabbed the opportunity against an Afghanistan side who were clearly not in Malaysia's class.
