Chelsea vs Malaysia (friendly match)

It was a great privilege to be there - my 1st time at such events!

It was like a carnival at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. Every other person was wearing either a Chelsea/Malaysia jersey or a blue/yellow t-shirt. As I'm not a football fan, I was just there for the experience ;)

Getting into the stadium was a challenge...literally!

We were there since 5:30p.m. SO EARLY. I really didn't know what to do. We can't really move anywhere else once we've in the stadium as the seats aren't numbered - free seating. So there was I, snapping photos & keeping myself entertained amidst the NOISY crowd! Even before the match started, the stadium was buzzing with sound.

We were hot, sticky, sweaty, & I was bored...hahahaha....

As the players appeared, the crowd burst into cheers!!

Managed to capture photos of some players on the screen...hahaha...

The rest was history. The game wasn't a very exciting one, & yes, Chelsea won in the end with 1 goal (not by their own skills! *disappointed*). As what my friend, HW concluded, "It was a game of 11 midfielders vs 11 defenders." Go figure the level of pride we had for both the teams...hahaha....

It was an interesting experience, no doubt. By the time we got home, it was nearly 2a.m. The traffic jam was a massive one; so horrible that our car can't even get out of the Endah Parade basement car park. We ended up having "dinner" at a nearby mamak before heading back. Oh, I don't think I'll pay to watch such games live the next time :) Thanks APWA for the fun treat! :D
