Aidil praises Kedah's winning desire, PKNP staff's commitment

Kedah head coach Aidil Sharin Sahak was happy with the performance of his charges, who produced a first leg Malaysia Cup quarter-final 2-1 win over home side PKNP FC on Tuesday.

In the match that initially looked to be in doubt due to a storm that thankfully ended just hours before kick-off, Yashir Pinto opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a wonderful rabona. But the visitors equalised just four minutes into the second half through Fernando Rodriguez' goal, before David Rowley struck with the winner in the 73rd minute.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, the Singaporean trainer praised the hosts for ensuring that the match could go on.
