Group E
Kedah (Faizal Abu Bakar 7mins) 1-1 ATM (Chandrasekar 78mins) (FT)
Pulau Pinang 1-2 Kelantan (FT) Thinagaran, Indra, Khalid Jamlus
Without Kyril Muhymin, Kedah are completely toothless and the Azrul Ahmad is not the best answer for replacement..He has been provided with several chances but fail to convert it into the goals..Travel to east this Tuesday for meeting with Kelantan will add more headache to Azrai Khor though for record, they beat them at Kota Bharu in MSL. Penang started well in first half but lack of experience denies them from flying high. Kelantan under new coach, B Sathianathan will return to Kota Bharu, awaiting the Kedah for next game.
