YOG soccer games on 17 Aug 2010 at Jalan Besar Stadium

The Ministry issued free tickets and we thought we should grab it at least for the 'companion VISA card'! :) Anyway since we got it, we might as well go take a look!

Wow, Jalan Besar stadium is really new and revamped!! Impressive, at least compared to what it was before! It is no longer the old and dirty stadium of yester-years. I was initially worried when I heard the game was there..hee...











Bolivia vs Haiti. We only managed to catch the last 5 minutes of this game.











Bolivia 9 and Haiti 0. Bolivia's 9th goal was scored towards the end of the game. Sigh. The crowd was actually rooting for Haiti to score at least 1 goal.











End of match for Bolivia and Haiti.











Next up was Montenegro and Zimbawe. Players warming up. Seriously, I have never heard of Montenegro before this day.











Montenegro players warming up.











Zimbawe players warming up.





















Players and Officials getting ready.











Players from both teams shaking hands before the game begins!




















Ticket and VISA companion card. Which is essentially a cash card. After activation, you get to travel free on public transport for 1 day :)














Mosquitoe bite that turned into a nasty bruise! Got it while waiting for Elaine outside the stadium.




Players and officials walking in...game will start after photo taking and singing of both team's National Anthem.



Announcement of lineup, phototaking and singing of National anthem for both teams.



Captains from each team tossing the coin.



Kickoff! Montenegro vs Zimbawe!



Final score Zimbawe 1 Montenegro 2. Zimbawe's goal also came at the last minute scored by my favorite player :)
