PETALING JAYA: National coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee wants a repeat of Malaysia’s past performance against Saudi Arabia when both sides meet in their final Group A World Cup qualifying match on Thursday.

At the Shah Alam Stadium on Sept 8 last year, Malaysia put up a determined display by taking the lead in the 70th minute through skipper Mohd Safiq Rahim before the Saudis came from behind to lead 2-1.
