KUALA LUMPUR: Goals were as rare as water in the Arab desert as the Malayan Tigress drew 0-0 with Saudi Arabia in an international friendly in Dubai yesterday.
This has left the Malaysian women thirsting for a win against Laos in another friendly on Saturday.
Malaysia coach Soleen Zoubi was satisfied yet frustrated with the draw.
"It was a tough game, and while we aimed for a win, I'm happy with the players' performance. We introduced many young players, which was a change from our last encounter with Saudi Arabia.
"The team demonstrated great spirit and mentality, pushing until the final whistle."
