Perak’s hopes delayed
By news-admin
DBasia.news – PERAK failed to secure a seat as the 2018 Super League runner-up when it was only 0-0 with Kedah in Ipoh today.
Mehmet Durakovic’s boys are now waiting until the final match against PKNS FC at the Shah Alam Stadium on July 28.
The hosts can only blame themselves for the failure to collect full points when two of their networks are canceled by the offside referee.
At the beginning of the game, visitors showcased a neat pattern with short delivery to put pressure on the opponent’s fort.
However, Perak refined the game to tear Kedah’s side in the 13th minute but Mohd Nor Hakim’s network was canceled for offside.
A few more opportunities were created after that but Perak’s attack apparently seemed to have left the idea until rest.
The same script repeated in the second half and once Gilmar Da Silva scored in the 77th minute, but was again canceled for offsides.
In addition to Perak, other teams also have the opportunity to finish the competition as Pahang’s runner-up this season besides Terengganu with a two-game advantage.
