FA Cup round 3: 2016 champions, last year's finalists knocked out

Although only Super League sides managed to reach the last eight of the FA Cup, two favourite sides still managed to fall victim to an early exit.

On Tuesday, last year's finalists Selangor were knocked out of the competition after losing 2-1 at home to Felda United. Syahmi Safari opened the scoring 10 minutes into the second half for, but the Red Giants were not able to add to their opener. Instead, Thiago Junio levelled the scoreline for the visitors just 10 minutes later, nodding in a long-range throw-in by Anwar Ibrahim, before team captain Hadin Azman delivered the killing blow two minutes from time following a solo run right from his own half.
