MPL Match Day 21 Roundup- KL fans goes berserk

KL fans were outraged by the results- utusan.com.my
Six matches were played on Tuesday with plenty of actions and shocking results between the top and the bottom of the table. The best match would be the league leaders Kedah wonderful comeback against Sabah.

The Red Hawk were twice trailed as the visitors took the lead through Joel Chianese before Sandro da Silva equalised through a spot kick. Joel Chianese added his second goal of the game, this time through a header past Abdul Hadi. Bang Seung-Hwan equalised again for the home side but they took until the 90th minute of the game to score the winner when Sandro da Silva whipped a free-kick which hit the barrier before the ball lobbed past the goalkeeper and managed to take all three points at home. The final league game for Kedah will be at Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil where they contested DRB-Hicom.

While T-Team trashed bottom place SPA with the scoreline of 7-0. Knowing that they need a large margin of goal difference to at least have the upper hand over their closest promotion rivals Penang, they are not holding back against SPA and managed to gain a high number of goals thanks to Tomislav Busic who scored five in a single match. This has placed T-Team in second place with higher goal difference than Penang.

Penang continued their form despite a nervous 2-1 victory over DRB-Hicom. Two goals from Hilton and Faiz Subri put them third in the table.

The relegation battle ended in such an incredible twist as Kuantan surprisingly beat Kuala Lumpur 2-0 at Merdeka Stadium. Goals from Hazwan Fakrullah and Fabrice Noel put The Seagull level with KL with only goal difference separated them. KL fans were outraged by the results and some of them threw a few flares towards the pitch making the game suspended for five minutes.
