Faisal determined to earn second appearance

Having made his Malaysia debut as a substitute in their 2-0 friendly match win against Nepal last week, forward Faisal Abdul Halim is determined to earn another appearance when the Harimau Malaya take on Timor-Leste again on Tuesday.

The diminutive forward did not feature in Malaysia's 7-1 first leg World Cup/Asian Cup first round play-off win last Friday, but Malaysia boss Tan Cheng Hoe looks likely to field more second-stringers in the return leg due to the huge margin of Friday's win.
