Durakovic thanks president for new signings following win

Perak reached their first FA Cup semi-finals since 2016, following their 2-1 second leg quarter-final win against state rivals PKNP FC on Saturday.

One goal in each half by new signing Ronaldo Henrique Silva (23', 88') was enough to help them overcome PKNP, whose solitary goal came from a thunderous free kick by Giancarlo in the 72nd minute.

Speaking after the match, the Bos Gaurus boss Mehmet Durakovic paid tribute to his two mid-season signings, Brazilian forwards Ronaldo and Raianderson da Costa Morais who had only arrived in Ipoh earlier this week before starting in the second leg encounter, and the man who allowed the signings to be made, association president Dato' Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
