KL grab their first win
LUMPUR recorded their first win in the Razak Cup by overcoming Johor 30 in a Division One match at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
In their curtain raiser, KL drew 0-0 with Malacca.
“We could not settle down quickly enough in our opening match against Malacca, who gave us a tough fight.
“And even against Johor, we could not open up the match early and had to wait until after the breather to crack them,” said coach K. Gobinathan.
Aminudin Zain gave KL a break with a 32nd minute goal, while Wan Haziq Hisyamudin (54th) and Syamim Yusof (56th) made sure full points were theirs.
“After a day's break, we play defending champions Perak and we need to keep today’s fire burning to collect full points.
“Perak are the early favourites even though they were held 1-1 by Terengganu on Saturday. They, however, came back stronger today to thrash Melaka 5-0,” Gobinathan added.
RESULTS: Johor 0 Kuala Lumpur 3, Perak 5 Malacca 0, Penang 2 Terengganu 4.
KL 1 Police 1, Melaka 1 Selangor 2; Pahang 1 Armed Forces 1, Penang 3 Terengganu 2.
