PKNS edge out Melaka to reach FA Cup third round

When PKNS FC were drawn against Melaka in the second round of the 2019 Malaysia FA Cup, they would have anticipated a difficult match against an opponent filled with quality players. But the exact opposite happened as PKNS became one of eight teams to book their place in Thursday's draw.

There were surprises in the starting line-ups of both teams with Rajagopal leaving Gabriel Guerra on the bench for the returning Kpah Sherman while Zainal Abidin Hassan used Razman Roslan at left back despite having both Khuzaimi Piee and Faris Shah on the bench.
