  • Timnas Malaysia U-22 keluar sebagai juara Merlion Cup 2023 usai mengalahkan Hong Kong U-22 di partai puncak, Minggu (26/3/2023).
  • Ini adalah gelar pertama Harimau Malaya dalam 41 tahun sejarah turnamen tersebut.
  • Pada kesempatan lain, Kamboja U-22 merebut peringkat ketiga usai mengalahkan tuan rumah Singapura U-22, 2-1.

SKOR.id - Timnas Malaysia U-22 sukses menjuarai Merlion Cup untuk pertama kali dalam sejarah.

Pada partai puncak yang digelar Minggu (26/3/2023) di Stadion Jalan Besar, Singapura, Harimau Malaya mengalahkan Hong Kong U-22 dengan skor 2-1.

Dua gol Malaysia U-22 diciptakan oleh Najmudin Akmal (74') dan Safwan Mazlan (79'). Sementara, balasan Hong Kong U-22 datang dari Lau Ka Kiu (80').

Laga ini juga diwarnai dua kartu merah, masing-masing buat striker Malaysia U-22, Haqimi Azim Rosli, dan penyerang Hong Kong U-22, Maddox Kong.

Gelar juara ini tentu akan menjadi modal yang bagus bagi tim asuhan E Elavarasan jelang turun di SEA Games 2023, 5-17 Mei mendatang.

Namun, satu hal yang perlu dijadikan catatan bagi sang pelatih adalah kesalahan kiper Rahadiazli Rahalim dalam dua laga beruntun.

Setelah blunder pada semifinal kontra Kamboja U-22, Rahadiazli Rahalim kembali bertanggung jawab atas gol balasan Hong Kong U-22.

Pada panggung lebih besar seperti SEA Games, kesalahan sekecil apa pun bakal sangat berpengaruh terhadap hasil akhir.

Bicara SEA Games 2023, tuan rumah Kamboja berhasil merebut peringkat ketiga pada Merlion Cup 2023.

Main beberapa jam sebelum final, Kamboja U-22 menang 2-1 atas Singapura U-22, setelah gol-gol Voeun Va dan Ky Rina cuma bisa dibalas oleh Jordan Emaviwe.

Merlion Cup merupakan turnamen invitasi yang diadakan tuan rumah Singapura sejak 1982.

Berbagai negara hingga klub pernah berpartisipasi, bahkan raksasa Liga Inggris, Liverpool, keluar sebagai juara pada 2009.

Indonesia juga sempat diundang dua kali, yakni pada edisi perdana (1982) dan 2019 - ketika Merlion Cup berubah menjadi turnamen level U-22.

Pencapaian skuad Merah-Putih pada dua kesempatan tersebut kurang memuaskan, semua hanya berakhir di peringkat ketiga.
