And of course, setting-up a delicious final as Sabah will meet JDT with another routine victory over Kuching. Join Keesh, Aiman Roshizam and Chun Hang as we brought out the punching gloves in this episode of The Malaysian Football Pod.
We start our episode with wishing veteran journalist Haresh Deol a speedy recovery after a despicable attack in broad daylight in Bangsar, raising serious questions about motive and the freedom of the press. Business as usual in our beloved Malaysian football scene, starting with JDT's loss to Melbourne Victory, we take a look at the prospect of JDT's qualifying as they will face tougher opponents next time in ACL Elite, in the form of Chinese Champions Shanghai Port, Japan's powerhouse in Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Vissel Kobe. Bergson, JDT striker sums it up perfectly after the defeat, attributing the amount and the quality of chances they had. Robin Hood of Malaysian football, Penang FC falter to Sabah, Negeri Sembilan draw against Terengganu and the smile on the face of Luqman Hakim gave us plenty to talk about. With the rumours of Alex Agyarkwa potentially called back to Selangor, we take a look at some options for Nidzam Jamil's side. Last but not least, Brunei DPMM's showed resilience against Kuching however, a last minute goal was controversially cancelled by VAR. Should have they at least go back with a point?

As we anticipate Malaysia vs Nepal next week, we simply can't get enough of the games last week. Starting with JDT vs Shanghai Shenhua, where Arif Aiman continues to showcase his strength in dribbling past defenses, solidifying himself as the top 3 players in Asia leading the Southern Tigers to an important 3 points ahead of some tough matches in ACL Elite ahead. Chun Hang rave on Petrus Shitembi season as he puzzled on the fact he was not nominated for one of the best import last year, when he's been brilliant for Kuching in the last few years.

FIFA has rejected the Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) appeal against its punishment for alleged forgery and falsification in the registration of seven naturalised players, upholding both the 12-month suspensions and hefty fines initially imposed.
