KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- Star-studded Johor Darul Takzim had
to come back from the brink of defeat to book a place in the
quarterfinals of the FA Cup competition by beating Kedah 5-4 on
penalties at the Darul Aman Stadium, Tuesday night.
Johor, trailing 0-2 in the first half and 1-2 until the final minutes of the match, not only managed to salvage the match in regulation time and extra-time but went on to win the penalty shootout to the dismay of the Kedah fans.
Kedah have only themselves to blame for the defeat as the Premier League outfit had been in the driving seat for almost the entire match before the star-studded Johor managed to pull off a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
Kedah took a 2-0 lead through Mohd Khyril Muhymeen's brace in the 8th and 21st minutes while Johor import Danial Guiza cancelled the advantage in the 69th and 89th minutes.
Johor are expected to meet Selangor who had already qualified after beating Sabah 3-0 at the Likas Stadium in Kota Kinabalu on Feb 12.
Pahang moved into the quarterfinals in style by whipping Tentera Darat FC 7-1 at the Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan with goals from R. Gopinathan (14th), Azamuddin Akil (23rd, 25th, 48th pen, 68th), Faizol Hussin (37th) and Mohamed Borji (85th pen) while Tentera Darat scored a consolation goal in the 65th minute from the penalty spot through Faizal Hamzah.
Sarawak booked their spot by beating Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBAPP FC) 2-0 at the State Stadium in Kuching with goals from Azizan Baba (31st) and Bobby Gonzales (57th).
Two times FA Cup champion Negeri Sembilan also advanced after edging Pos Malaysia 2-0 at the Selayang Stadium while Terengganu convincingly beat Penang 3-0 to earn their spot.
At the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium in Kuala Terengganu, Sime Darby FC scored a narrow 1-0 win over T-Team to book their berth.
