PIALA MALAYSIA FINAL KEDAH 1 - SELANGOR 1 *Kedah win 6-5 after penalty shoot-outs Kedah won their fifth Malaysia Cup after beating Selangor 6-5 in penalties. Both team were tied 1-1 after 90 minutes. Rizal Ghazali opened accounts and then closed the accounts with the winning penalty as Kedah dethroned defending champions Selangor at the Shah Alam Stadium. Fittingly, Rizal was named Man of the Match in the final which was watched by more than 80,000 supporters. Rizal opened the scoring for Kedah in the 52nd minute when his strike took a deflection off S. Veenod and the ball looped into the Selangor net past a confused Khalid Azhan in goal. But that lead was cancelled out by Ahmad Hazwan Bakri when he drilled home a low shot past Kedah's young goalkeeper Ifwat Akmal , 20. After that it was a tale of missed chances by both sides. In last year's final Selangor trooped off 2-0 winners over Kedah to complete their "Mission 33" under coach Mehmet

LIGA SUPER: SELANGOR 1 - JOHOR DT 2 Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) created another record in the Malaysia Super League (MSL) after Amri Yahyah 's 77th-minute strike helped them beat Selangor 2-1, as they became the only team that complete a season unbeaten in the domestic league's history.

Ahmad Hazwan Bakri gave the Red Giants some cheer with an equaliser six minutes later. But Amri, who was selected in Malaysia's squad for the AFF Cup this week, finished off the Southern Tigers season on a high after S. Chanturu 's assist.
