Despite the 2-1 defeat to Kedah in their first leg Malaysia Cup quarter-final match, PKNP FC boss Abu Bakar Fadzim was happy to see his charges put up a challenge against the five-time champions.
In the match that initially looked to be in doubt due to a storm that thankfully ended just hours before kick-off, Yashir Pinto opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a wonderful rabona. But the visitors equalised just four minutes into the second half through Fernando Rodriguez' goal, before David Rowley struck with the winner in the 73rd minute.
