UUM ended thier campaign in the MASUM Uni-League Division One 2009 after a draw against International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM). The result saw IIUM together with UKM qualified through to the quarter final. UUM could only managed to secure 4 points while IIUM collected 5 points.In the match, the team made some changes in the line-up as well as the tactical approach. Instead of their normal 4-4-2 formation, the team had to adjust accordingly by playing a 3-4-3 formation and that had proven to be positive. Sankar Kuppusamy and Thevan Raman started at the back, marking out both IIUM strikers. Dominic Roy started in place the injured Muhammad Solihein Azmi on the right while Mohd Fadzri Kaharuddin retained his position on the left but later was substituted by Khairul Abdul Rahim after failing to perform reasonably well. Norbert Obiekwe who missed the earlier two matches stood in together with Cao Le in midfield. Mohd Nasron Basri got two golden opportunities to put UUM into the lead but fumbled in both occasions.
It was an improved and better performance by the team with all players realised that only a win will take them to the quarter final. Unfortunately the spirited display failed to give the team the required results. With the result, UUM will now have to focus on their campaign in the MASUM Cup scheduled for May 24th 2009 in UiTM Manjung. Cao Le (pic) was later pronounced as the Man of The Match.
