Durakovic floored by Perak charges' resolve in stunning semi-final comeback

Needing to overturn their 3-1 first leg defeat to Pahang in the return leg on Saturday, Mehmet Durakovic's Perak stunningly scored three goals in the first half, before keeping a clean sheet in the second.

Brendan Gan's 34th-minute header opened the scoring at the Perak Stadium, before Partiban Janasekaran added their second in the 41st minute after he was released by Careca's through pass. Just a minute later, Nor Hakim Hassan's cross from the left forced Faisal Rosli to poke the ball into his own net. The hosts refused to sit back and defend their slim lead in the second half, but no more goals were scored by either side.
