As expected Aidil Zafuan started for Malaysia in the international friendly against Sri Lanka and helped Harimau Malaya to their first clean sheet in five matches in that 6-0 trashing at Bukit Jalil National Stadium on Saturday. Paired with Shahrul Saad in the centre of Malaysia's defence, Aidil brought the calm back into the defensive shape of the team.
Obviously with six goals scored in the match, Aidil had plenty to praise on the attacking side of things as four different goalscorers found the back of the net. It was a match fully controlled from the first whistle to the last by the home side but the 32-year-old knows clearly that the situation is unlikely to be the same when Malaysia take to the field at My Dinh Stadium on Thursday.
