FELDA UNITED TO FACE PAHANG IN FA CUP FINAL


​
MALAYSIA FA CUP: FELDA UNITED 2(3) - KELANTAN 2(3)
*Felda United wins on away goals rule.

Felda United reached their first major final in the M-League after overcoming defending champions Kelantan on away goals in the FA Cup semi-final second leg 2-2 draw at Shah Alam Stadium yesterday. Edward Junior Wilson's top-class strike sealed Premier League outfit Felda United's historic entry into the FA Cup final. The Premier League side will face reigning Malaysia Cup champions Pahang in the title deciding match on Saturday at National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Felda were cautious and defended stoutly, frustrating the visiting team on numerous occasions. The Red Warriors missed a golden opportunity in the 17th minute when Wan Zaharulnizam Wan Zakaria was set up in the box but his point blank attempt was blocked by Felda goalkeeper Farizal Harun.


​
Undeterred, the homeside pressed forward and netted through Indra Putra Mahayuddin in the 20th minute. The former international headed home after Shukor Adan's rising shot was parried into his path by Kelantan goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat. Four minutes later, Forkey Doe could have leveled for Kelantan but his shot in Felda's penalty box rocked the crossbar. Kelantan continued to put pressure on Felda's defence and their persistence was rewarded in the 29th minute when Izuan Rosli latched onto a through ball before scoring from a grounder.

Felda's leaky back-line was exploited once again five minutes later through Doe's neat finish after the Liberia international had picked up a through pass.


​
But Edward Junior Wilson silenced the Kelantan fans with an amazing goal in the first half of stoppage time. The Liberia international's intended cross from the left instead swerved over Kelantan keeper Khairul and into the back of the net for the equaliser.

Four minutes into the second half, Wilson almost scored a second goal but his powerful volley sailed over the Kelantan crossbar. Felda played tight and were defensive in the closing minutes while Kelantan tried hard to score a third but to no avail.
