First Away Win Enough for Terengganu to Remain First

Terengganu finally recorded their first away win of the season when they beat the Armed Forces (ATM) 3-0 at the Selayang Municipal Stadium last night.

Abdul Manaf Mamat opened the scoring in the 24th minute with Mohamad Norfarhan adding the second in the 71st minute. Faiz Subri added the third as the match was about to go into stoppage time.

The comprehensive win enabled The Turtles to maintain their position at the top of the Super League with sixteen points.

Hot on Terengganu's heels are Pahang and Selangor after both also won their away fixtures.

Dickson Nwakaeme's double and a goal from Fauzi Roslan saw The Elephants easily defeated PKNS FC 3-1 at the Shah Alam Stadium. Patrick Ronaldinho Wleh replied for the home side in the 71st minute.

The Red Giants meanwhile had to face a more challenging task, to win at the State Stadium against the host, Sarawak. However, a strike by Andik Vermanshah in the 24th minute and another goal by Thamil Arasu saw Mehmet Durakovic's boys flying home with all three points.

Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) did the unexpected in Kota Bahru by winning their match against the home side, Kelantan.

Amri Yahyah just after the half hour mark cancelled Muhammad Ghaddar opener in the 17th minute. As both sides seemed to be settling for a draw, JDT scored the winner through Fazly Mazlan three minutes before the end of regulation time.

The win saw JDT moved up to fourth while right behind them are the Lions XII which also grabbed all three points against Perak in Ipoh through Mohamad Safuwan's last minute strike that found the home side's back of the net.

The defeat saw Perak going to the bottom of the standings after T-Team Titans did enough at home to register their third win of the season.

Azraai Khor was a happy man at the final whistle after goals from Evaldo Rodrigues and central defender, Marzuki Yusof were enough to see off Sime Darby FC.

The result moved them to 9th place in the standings with eleven points.
