Manchester United in Bukit Jalil Stadium

Travelled up on a day trip with Eric and a few others for the Man U Asia Tour 2009 - first game in KL, at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. Left SG from the Cage at about 8:30am, with the game kicking off at about 5:40pm. Arrived in time for the game, but long walk to the stadium from coach parking area, and it was already fully packed by then.

We got to see Michael Owen's debut for Man U and he scored the winner too! Perhaps I was wrong about him, but we'll see... he still hasn't lost his instincts, that's for sure.

Full house at Bukit Jalil...


Man U players saluting the team after the game, which ended 3-2 in Man U's favour. Rooney scored in the 9th min, and Nani made it two nil after about 20, but on the stroke of half-time, VDS made an error clearing the ball and Mohd Amri Yahyah belted a wonderful volley over VDS from 30yds out.

Nani scoring his goal, but he had a bad game...


Ben Foster started the 2nd half, but almost immediately forgot to look at the ball when it was thrown/passed to him, and Mohd Amri picked up the loose ball and scored again, which made it 2-2 until Owen scored with 5 mins to go. Giggsy Legend got clean thru but was fouled by the keeper, Owen pounced on the loose ball, side stepped the keeper, and scored low into the left hand post.

After the game, took us another hour to get back to the bus (memories of HK Ocean Park again) with 100,000 people trying to get home, and finally arrived back in SG at about 4:30am. Tiring but all in all, great fun finally watching Man U live again.
