Melaka came into the match against PJ City FC in 7th spot in the Super League standings but a 2-1 win coupled with Perak's defeat to Johor Darul Ta'zim meant that Zainal Abidin Hassan's side shot up to fourth in the standings with three rounds of matches left to play.
Pedro Henrique had put the home side ahead in the 13th minute but the visitors turned the table around late in the first half through goals from Luka Milunovic (37') and Jang Suk-won (45') to take a half time lead. They eventually held off PJ City to claim all three points, much to the delight of Zainal.
