The second leg match of a Tiger Cup semifinal has been rescheduled after the weekend's deadly tsunami, concerned soccer officials said on Thursday (Dec 30th).

Malaysia and Indonesia, both hit by the tsunami that swept the Indian Ocean on Sunday, were scheduled to meet in Kuala Lumpur on New Year's Day. However, the match will be played 48 hours later, on Monday, as a mark of respect for the victims following a plea from Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

The tsunami, triggered by a huge underwater earthquake off Indonesia, killed more than 87,000 people and the death toll is expected to rise further.

Malaysia beat Indonesia 2-1 in the first leg, which took place in Jakarta on Tuesday.

The second leg of the other semifinal between Singapore and Myanmar will be played as scheduled on Sunday. Singapore leads the tie 4-3.
