Sri Pahang FC and Kuala Lumpur City FC checked into the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals after winning their return-leg ties in contrasting fashion tonight.
While Sri Pahang had to rely on two penalties to edge Selangor FC 2-1 in the return leg for a 3-2 aggregate win at the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Stadium here, KL City thumped Kedah FC 4-1 for a 6-4 aggregate victory at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras.
Sri Pahang and Selangor, who drew the first-leg tie 1-1, were evenly matched in the initial stages of the first half before visitors Pahang shot into the lead through a Manuel Hidalgo penalty in the 25th minute after Selangor’s Harith Haiqal Adam Afkar fouled Kpah Sherman in the box.
The Red Giants thought they had equalised in the 64th minute but Ali Olwan’s goal was chalked off because striker Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim was in an offside position.
