Paulo Josue's late goal earned Malaysia a 1-1 draw against 72nd-ranked Cape Verde in a spirited Tier 1 friendly in Cheras. Despite going behind early, Harimau Malaya impressed with strong local representation and a debut for Gabriel Palmero. Josue equalised in the 79th minute and nearly won it late, but the score remained level. The teams meet again behind closed doors on June 3 ahead of Malaysia’s crucial Asian Cup qualifier vs Vietnam.
