So it looks like Kelantan have a foot in the door and Negri have an uphill battle. 3 changes to the back 4 after 25 minutes into the game must have given Kedah the smell of blood, but Kelantan not only defended valiantly and had some of their attacks push Kedah back.
Looks like all the work done pre season by coach B. Sathianathan on defending and fitness came to a fruition as Kelantan are looking like a hard team to break down. With the return leg in their own back yard, it's looking increasingly likely they will make the finals. Now it comes down to their injuries and if the players recuperate in time.
Negri, on the other hand, played a wonderful game of football in front of their home crowd but saw the initiative snatched by Johor FC. Playing away is never easy and now coach Wan Jamak Wan Hasan has to commit his players to attacking football to overturn the deficit.
Both these matches are a must watch. Catch it on Astro Arena channel 801.
