Malaysia see off Thailand for triumphant end
DUBAI — Malaysia took all three points in a 1-0 win over Thailand thanks to a Safawi Rasid penalty in the second half in Group G of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 on Tuesday. The two sides had gone into this game on the back of a winless run stretching back to 2019, and having been knocked out of the reckoning for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualification, this match carried the importance of confirming third place for the winners. Muhammed Akhyar took the first big chance of the game for Malaysia, when he pounced on a poorly cleared ball by Thailand goalkeeper Chatchai Budprom, and dribbled into the area under pressure from the defense and took a shot from a tight angle that was blocked, eventually winning a corner.Malaysia goalkeeper...

Sweden hold Spain to a goalless draw in Seville
MADRID — Spain controlled possession but couldn't convert any of their chances as Sweden held them to a 0-0 draw in Seville. Sweden looked dangerous only on rare occasions and came close to breaking the deadlock near the end of the first half when Real Sociedad forward Isak Alexander had his shot from inside the area hit the post after deflecting off Spain's defender Marcos Llorente in front of the goal line. Álvaro Morata had Spain’s best chance just a few minutes earlier but his shot missed wide with goalkeeper Robin Olsen the only opponent to beat inside the box.

In the other...
