Game 2 of Malaysia XI v Manchester United, 20/7/2009, again in Bukit Jalik stadium. Again, Malaysia XI put up a decent showing. Again, they lose. This time, the score is 2-0 to United.
Both goals came early in the first-half. Federico Macheda, the teenage Italian striker, opened the scoring in the 11th minute. Just a couple of minutes later, Michael Owen scored the second goal. Reports say United improved slightly from their display in the first game. As for the Malaysian team, unfortunately they could not score a goal this time. But once again, they have not been disgraced. Yes, it is true that United are in pre-season mode & would not have been at their best against the Malaysian team. But if Malaysia can continue to play like this on a regular basis, then they will be heading on the right track & will have a much brighter future.
