Manzoor elated at Panthers' best Malaysia Cup campaign since 2006

Malaysia Premier League champions Pulau Pinang continued their fine form this season, after edging top tier side Felda United 3-1 in their round one Malaysia Cup encounter on Friday.

The Panthers have advanced to the quarter-finals thanks to goals from Casagrande (37'), Amer Azahar (62') and Lee Chang-hoon (76'), their best achievement so far in the competition since the 2006 edition. The solitary goal for the Fighters, who may have played their last ever match as a Malaysian league outfit, was netted by Nicolas Velez in the 49th minute.
