KELANTAN IN THE SEMIFINALS AGAIN


FA CUP: PKNS FC 3(5) - KELANTAN 3(6)

Kelantan moved into the FA Cup semifinals after getting the needed results in their second leg quarterfinal matches. The Defending Champions were held to a 3-3 draw in Selayang by a gritty PKNS FC, but the result was enough to send them into the last four with 6-5 on aggregate, after winning the first leg in Kota Baru 3-2.


The Red Warriors (TRW) were dragged into full throttle by PKNS in the thriller at MPS Stadium. The match could have gone into extra-time but striker Mohamed Ghaddar’s wrapped it on time. The Lebanese netted Kelantan’s third goal after PKNS had taken a 3-2 lead with 19 minutes remaining, through a header by Indonesian defender Hamka Zakaria.

The Red Ants got off to a roaring start, grabbing the lead in the second minute through Patrick Ronaldinho, which neutralised Kelantan’s one-goal cushion from the first leg. Steve Darby’s men were not rattled by the goal and a freekick from skipper Mohd Badhri Radzi found Ahmad Fakri Saarani, whose glancing header hit the back of the PKNS net, past a stunned Remezey Che Ros.


Kelantan took the lead in the 26th minute through a volley from Shakir Ali, again after Badhri set him up, but it was 2-2 at halftime when Ronaldinho was brought down inside the box by Obinna Nwaneri and Karlo Primorac did not make any mistake from the spot. Hamka then made it count with a header in the 71st minute but Ghaddar popped up to make sure the match was decided in normal time. Kelantan will play Felda United to decide who marches in to the final.
