“I am delighted that the mission to qualify for the quarterfinals came true.

Commenting on the 1-0 victory over Sabah last night, Dollah admitted his feeling that the squad was not playing well, especially in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, a Group C clash between Penang and Perak at the City Stadium was allegedly tainted by incidents of backlash from supporters of both sides. <\/span>Based on a video that has been trending on social media since yesterday, a riot broke out in the stadium with some supporters of both teams being seen throwing objects at and provoking each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of the action on the pitch, Penang coach Manzoor Azwira Abdul Wahid remains thankful despite his side only held by a 1-1 draw with Perak.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our goal is to earn three points to make it easier to qualify for the quarter-finals. But this is football and it’s not easy to face Perak, who is the winner of the 2018 Malaysia Cup,” he said after the game. “<\/span>Congratulations to my players for their great motivation and thanks to the supporters who came down to the stadium for their support.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The result saw Penang remain third in the group and share five points with Perak, thus occupying second place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Perak coach Mehmet Durakovic was also pleased with the performance of his player who stole a point in Penang’s home. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We controlled the game in the first half and we only made one mistake that saw Penang score a goal. But overall, we played our game,” he said. “I am satisfied, but in the Malaysian Cup competition, all teams are able to compete. So it is not easy.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After the international break, the Malaysia Cup will return to action on the 13th of September for Matchday 5 of the Group Stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
