KEDAH TO FACE SELANGOR IN MALAYSIA CUP FINAL
PIALA MALAYSIA: KEDAH 2(4) - FELDA UNITED 1(3)
Kedah defeated Felda United 2-1 In the Malaysia Cup semi-finals, return-leg matche last night at the Darulaman Stadium in Alor Setar. The Red Eagles got through to the final with a 4-3 on aggregate. Goals in by Chidi Edeh (44th) and Sandro da Silva (50th) were enough to keep the home side on course for a Premier League and Malaysia Cup double this season. Felda had earlier stunned Kedah with the opening goal by Syamim Yahya in the 39th minute.
Baddrol Bakhtiar, who missed the first leg through suspension, was the home team’s best player in front of the sellout 30,000 crowd. The right-sided midfielder was at the heart of most of Kedah’s attacking moves, supplying the crosses for forwards Edeh and Da Silva.
Felda United's hopes of drawing level were dashed in the 61st minute when veteran striker Indra Putra Mahayuddin was sent off after collecting his second yellow card for elbowing Shafizan Hashim in the face. Kedah will face Selangor in the Malaysia Cup final on 12 December at Shah Alam Stadium.
