Night of Draws

It was a night of draws in the Super League tonight as the two fixtures on the menu ended in stalemates.

The Armed Forces (ATM) whose title aspirations took a dent last Saturday with their 3-2 defeat to Terengganu in Kuala Terengganu could not find their way past another east coast side, Pahang.

The Elephants, whose title challenge also faltered in recent weeks have now gone four matches without a win. Their last success was the 3-0 east coast derby win against Terengganu in January.


In Kota Bharu, the home side Kelantan had to thank their foreign striker, Keita Mandjou whose late equaliser saved them the blushes as an early strike by striker, Abdul Hadi Yahya looked set to be the only goal of the match.

Meanwhile in the Premier League, Sime Darby continued their winning ways with a 2-0 win over UiTM FC. Strikes by Karlo Primorac and Goran Perak ensured The Planters remained on top with Sarawak hot on their heels.

The Crocs meanwhile registered a hard fought 1-0 win over Kuala Lumpur at the KLFA Stadium in Cheras. Ivan Babic scored the crucial goal that brought all three points back to Kuching in the 68th minute. His header from a Ramesh Lai cross gave the home side goalkeeper no chance at all.

Sabah made full use of their home advantage when they defeated Johor 3-2 at the Likas Stadium. Koh Traore continued his goal-scoring form with a brace in this match. Shahrul Azhar Ture's strike was sandwiched between Traore's two goals. Rashid Aya and Izuan Jarudin replied for the visitors.

Firza Rozali injury time strike was enough to give SPA FC a 1-0 win over POS Malaysia FC at the UiTM Stadium. The win saw SPA taking over sixth spot from POS Malaysia who now dropped to ninth in the Premier League standings.

Early pace-setters, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have now gone five matches without a win. In their latest match they fell 3-1 to a resurgent Perlis side who climbed into seventh spot in the table. PDRM remained in fifth but now with just three points separating them with the Northern Lions.

In another match, Betaria FC held Kedah to a goalless draw at the Hang Jebat Stadium in Melaka.
