After finishing runners-up to Johor Darul Ta'zim in the league last season, much was expected from Perak in 2019 having been able to see out the overtures for their top players as well as head coach Mehmed Durakovic. But a poor start which saw them languishing in the bottom half of the table speaks of the difficulties that Perak have faced.
One lonely win against PJ City FC was all Perak had, going into the match against PKNP FC. But The Bos Gaurus ended the first half of the Super League season with some style through goals from Brendan Gan, Gilmar Filho (2) and Shahrul Saad.
