JDTII lift 2019 Challenge Cup after penalty heartbreak for UKM

Johor Darul Ta'zim II (JDTII) went into the second leg holding a 1-0 lead from the home first leg but were forced into extra time and penalties before eventually clinching the cup success as UKM gave it their all at KLFA Stadium in Cheras on Saturday night.

In a closely fought contest, UKM only managed to grab the vital aggregate equaliser with eight minutes left in normal time to play. Former Sarawak player, Mateo Roskam got the valuable goal as UKM reaped the rewards for their persistence to give the match an additional 30 minutes.

Neither teams could be separated after extra time and it was the lottery of spot-kicks.
