Pahang blew a chance to move within two points of Johor Darul Ta'zim in the Super League standings after they crashed to 2-0 defeat at Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium on Match Day 13. The result meant that The Elephants have a mammoth task now of narrowing a massive 8-point gap if they are to win the 2019 title.
Having comfortably held JDT for large parts of the match, the momentary lapse in concentration gave the opening goal to the home side. Pahang pushed far too many men forward for a corner kick and were left cruelly exposed at the back as JDT broke for Hariss Harun to score the first goal of the match.
