Undermanned Bahrain upset North Korea 2-1 in Pyongyang 25 March 2005 by AFP Bahrain's bid to make the FIFA World Cup finals for the first time received an unexpected boost on Friday when they upset North Korea 2-1 in their Asian qualifying match in Pyongyang. Husain Ali was one of the stars for Bahrain, scoring both goals in the absence of injured star strikers Ala'a Hobeil and Rashid Jamal, while goalkeeper Mohammed Jaffar was equally impressive at the other end of the ground. For North Korea, it was a case of wasted opportunities in front of a noisy capacity crowd of 70,000 at Kim Il-Sung stadium as they attacked relentlessly all game, only to be denied on more than a dozen occasions by Jaffar. Bahrain came into the match in disarray after their Croatian coach, Srecko Juricic, abandoned them last month in favour of Oman. With the injuries to Hobeil and Jamal, and playing in North Korea for the first time, even team officials were saying in the lead up to the match they would be content to escape with a draw. But, under former coach Wolfgang Sidka who returned to the team for just 10 days to help Bahrain in their matches against North Korea and Japan, they showed a fierce determination all game to fend off their attacking opponents. North Korea made a furious start to the match, with Kim Yong-Jun's right foot attempt in the third minute going just wide and Jaffar having to fend off a close-range strike from Han Song-Chol a minute later. North Korea were threatening again in the sixth minute when Bahrain struck on the counterattack, thanks largely to star midfielder Mohammed Salmeen, who came into the match under an injury cloud. Salmeen made a driving run from halfway down the right side and crossed to a diving Ali, who headed past young North Korean goalkeeper Kim Myong-Gil. Jaffar put on a stunning display in the first half, making six pressure saves, including a spectacular dive to the right in the ninth minute to fend off a strike from Mun In-Guk. Bahrain took a 2-0 lead early in the second half when Ahmed Hubail took advantage of loose North Korean defence to run down the right flank and drill a cross to Ali, who had been left unattended in the penalty box and scored easily with a right-foot strike. North Korea were finally rewarded for their relentless attacking in the 62nd minute, when Pak Song-Gwan's header off a long cross found the net. -- 『你們聽見有話說：「以眼還眼，以牙還牙。」只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打；有人想要告你，要拿你的裏衣，連外衣也由他拿去；有人強逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；有求你的，就給他；有向你借貸的，不可推辭。 {馬太福音 5.38～42} 』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.169.0.5
