PETALING JAYA: Timor Leste’s foreign legion is giving national interim coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee a headache ahead of their World Cup Asian Zone Group A qualifying match in Dili on Tuesday.

Timor Leste, who are ranked No. 170 in the world compared to Malaysia’s 171, have used naturalised Brazilian-born footballers since 2012. And Kim Swee has picked midfielders Juninho, Paulo Helber, Rodrigo Silva and striker Patrick Fabiano as the Timor Leste’s main threat ahead of the clash at the Timor Leste National Stadium.
