SIME DARBY FALLS AT HOME TO PDRM

MALAYSIA CUP: SIME DARBY 0 - PDRM 3

Premier League champions, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) opened their Malaysia Cup campaign with a comfortable win over Sime Darby at Selayang Stadium. The 3-0 win shows that the Cops are not affected by the departure of former manager Dollah Salleh.

Sime Darby failed to match the 'never-say-die' PDRM players although playing on their own turf. Maldives hotshots, Ali Ashfaq opened the scoring in the 15th minute after receiving a pass from Fauzi Abd Majid.

Sime Darby raised their game and launched a number of attacks. But the PDRM defenders were simply at their best. As the home side was busy looking for an equalizer, Bobby Gonzales doubled PDRM leads with a goal in the 35th minute.

Sime Darby returned for second half in search for goals. However, their fighting spirits were tested again. Referee of the night, Zamzaidi Katimin awarded the visitor a penalty 2 minutes after the restart. And Ali Ashfaq did not make any mistake from the spot to kill Sime Darby hopes for a comeback.

It was a dream start for their newly appointed manager, Azman Adnan who took over the job from Dollah Salleh. The former manager left PDRM to manage Malaysia's national team.
