KUALA LUMPUR: Kuching City FC and Sri Pahang shared points in a Super League match last night when they played to a 2-2 draw at the State Stadium, Kuching.
Kuching City’s both goals came in the first half, with Tchetche Hermann Brice Kipre scoring in the 18th minute and Jordan Mintah in the 45th, while Sri Pahang struck back in the second half through Adam Nor Azlin in the 63rd minute and finally Manuel Federico Hidalgo Gasparini’s strike in the 77th minute.
The Sarawakians failed to capitalise on their first half lead, buckling to pressure from the visitors in the second half.
Tonight’s results mean that Sri Pahang remains fourth with four points, while Terengganu FC climbs to second place in the league, also with four points.
Meanwhile, there was another draw in the other Super League match last night after Penang FC had to settle for split points with Terengganu FC in a 0-0 draw at City Stadium in George Town, Penang after their goal was disallowed by the Virtual Assistant Referee (VAR) system.
The home team did well to control much of the gameplay in the first half, but failed to score, and Terengganu FC midfielder Manual Gelito Ott did find the back of the net in the 38th minute but his attempt was ruled offside.
In the second half, Mohammad Nabil Ahmad Latpi’s effort in the 68th minute ended up being disallowed by the referee after a review of the VAR, while Penang FC’s last ditch attempt to win the game in the final minute failed, and they had to settle for a draw.
Last night’s results mean that Sri Pahang remains fourth with four points, while Terengganu FC climbs to second place in the league, also with four points.
