PRINCE WATCHES PLAYERS LOSE COOL
Malaysia went on a scoring binge late in the first half en route to a 5-0 blanking of Cambodia last night in a fight-marred Group A match in the Southeast Asian Games at the Panaad pitch in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
Left winger Surendren Rasiah kicked off and completed the scoring for Malaysia, which played the last 40 minutes minus star striker Rudie Bin Ramil, who was sent off for verbal abuse.
Rasiah met Thirumurugan Veeran's free kick with a header
from the far post in the 10th minute and Zairo Anuar Bin Zalani made
it 2-0 thirty minutes later, finishing off a dazzling run with a curling
right-footed rocket from 25 yards out, leaving Cambodia defenseless.
