Kedah held their nerves to hold back a late Kuala Lumpur fightback in their round 12 Super League match on Friday, scoring two late goals to win the encounter with a 5-2 scoreline.
Guilherme de Paula pulled one back for the visitors at the Darul Aman Stadium in the 78th minute to close down the margin to 3-2, but one goal each by Fernando Rodriguez (80') and Jonatan Bauman (89') sealed the win and allowed the Red Eagles to move up to third place in the standings, at least temporarily.
