KEDAH overturn two-goal deficit to thrash Penang
Kedah staged a magnificent comeback to overturn a two-goal deficit with an impressive 6-2 win over Penang at the Darulaman Stadium. The home fans, who had come to witness the defending champions stroll to an easy victory over the group's weakest side, were left shell-shocked as the visitors raced to a 2-0 lead within the opening 20 minutes. The Panthers shot ahead in just their first foray upfront after 10 minutes of play. Amir Shahreen Mubin ran down the left flank and his pin-point cross across the Kedah goal was diverted into the net by striker Mohd Farizal Rozali. Farizal heaped more misery on the home team eight minutes later. The Penang striker's blistering drive could only be parried by Kedah's second choice goalkeeper Abdul Hadi Hamid. Unfortunately for Kedah, the rebound ricocheted off backtracking defender V. Thirumurugan's legs into goal. Stunned by the two goals, Kedah redoubled their efforts and succeeded in reducing the deficit in the 33rd minute. Mohd Fadzly Baharom stole in behind the Penang defence to slot the ball home. And the President Cupper notched his eighth goal of the Malaysia Cup campaign eight minutes later by slotting home a loose ball for the equaliser.
Penang's hope of salvaging something from the match was dealt a severe blow just before half-time when Farizal was sent off for retaliating in an off-the-ball incident with Kedah skipper A. Victor. It was all Kedah in the second-half and the Canaries needed just seven minutes to go ahead for the first time in the match. A Marlon James pull-back was swept into the net by national midfielder Mohd Khyril Muhymeen, who was playing only because he was given permission to be left out of the national squad's trip to India. Chilean midfielder Nelson Martin's beautiful strike from outside the penalty area made it 4-2 for Kedah at the hour's mark. Penang's fabulous start had turned into a nightmare by the time Khyril (73rd) and James (75th) plundered a goal each to complete the rout.
