Given the way the game is going, you wouldn’t expect Perak to actually comeback from a rather big deficit as they haven’t troubled Pahang enough. But magically, they were able to nick a point under the trunks of Tok Gajah with a spectacular turnaround from 3-0 down to 3-3.
Read MoreYep. It’s that old tale of two halves. The first 45 minutes were very labored and it needed something to make it alive. The way both sides are set up is definitely a factor to why the match has not been eventful (Which we’ll go into later).

Terengganu’s defeat at Melaka last week made things more difficult for the Turtles to maintain a title challenge. Now, it’s surely all but over.

They can seal the title with a win over FA Selangor next week who is set to miss Brendan Gan due to suspension and also are greatly struggling to impose themselves should results elsewhere favor them starting with Kedah’s match with FELDA tomorrow.
