SOUTHERN TIGERS ROAR IN PENANG


​
MALAYSIA CUP: PENANG 1 - JDT 3

JDT took full control of the match at the Bandaraya Stadium yesterday and win 3-1 over Penang. Penang looked nervous from the start allowing the visitors to demonstrate a good performance.

National striker Amri Yahyah found the net in the 13th minute to give JDT the lead. His back header from Safiq Rahim's corner beat G. Jeevananthan. Penang did not have the chance to recover as the Southern Tigers got another goal a minute later through Safiq Rahim. Two goals advantage was good enough for JDT to head for the break.

​
Penang was a little improved in the second half. They are more organized and launching a number of attacks. South Korean Lee Gil Hoon showed an outstanding performance with a number of dangerous attempts. Penang finally got a breakthrough when Gil Hoon found the net after a solo effort in the 65th minute.

​
As the Penang supporters were hoping for a comeback by the home team, substitute Pereyra Diaz silenced the crowd by scoring JDT's third goal a minute later. It was a very frustrating performance by the Islanders, but Southern Tigers took their opportunities so well.
