Malaysia Cup semi-finals round-up: JDT vanquish Selangor, Kedah edge Pahang in another thriller

Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) and Kedah will meet in the 2019 Malaysia Cup final, after edging their respective opponents; Selangor and Pahang in the second leg of the semi-finals on Saturday.

Selangor's first leg resistance in the previous week against JDT, which helped them nick an away goal from their 2-1 defeat at Larkin, was undone in front of their own fans at the Shah Alam Stadium. Their failure to play well at home resulted in a 3-0 second leg defeat (5-1 on aggregate), with all three goals scored by the previously-underperforming Safawi Rasid (25', 46', 51'), from almost similar situations.
