NEGRI SEMBILAN STAY ON COURSE TOPPED GROUP A WITH 7 POINTS

GROUP A - 1ST ROUND REVIEW

NEGRI SEMBILAN headed Group A with seven points from three matches and they needed a win at Paroi against Kelantan to avoid clash Group D leaders the newly crown Super League Champions, Selangor in the quarter-final of the Malaysia Cup.

The defending champions defeated PKNS Selangor 2-1 in their last game at MPPJ Stadium to notch their second wins after a 1-1 draw against KL Plus at Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi played earlier. Kelantan  currently in the second spot with 5 points from 1 win and 2 draws. 

Negri and Kelantan looks most likely to qualify for the quarter-final but the Eastcoast side need to overcome Negri Sembilan to take the top spot to avoid facing mighty Selangor when the Malaysia Cup resume back in two weeks time.
