PETALING JAYA: Super League champions Kelantan’s treble dream suffered an early blow after they lost 2-0 to Terengganu in the opening Group B match of the Malaysia Cup competition at the Sultan Ismail Stadium in Kuala Terengganu.
Golden Boot winner Francis Doe and midfielder Ismail Faruqi handed the Turtles a winning start with goals in the third and 89th minutes respectively.
The Red Warriors simply had no answer to the spirited Terengganu side and were punished after just three minutes when Ismail Faruqi sent in a teasing cross for the Liberian striker to nod past onrushing national goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat for the opening goal .
Kelantan were reduced to 10 men when rightback Mohd Daudsu Jamaluddin was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 67th minute.
Terengganu then sealed victory when Ismail scored off a goalmouth melee a minute from time.
In another Group B match, Premier League champions Armed Forces defeated Kedah 2-0 at the Darulaman Stadium in Alor Setar, courtesy of goals by K. Reuben (20th) and Mohd Zaquan Adha (81st).
Meanwhile, success-starved Selangor’s miserable run of form continued when they lost 2-1 to Sarawak in a Group D match at the State Stadium in Kuching. Selangor took a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute following an own goal by Ronny Harun.
But Sarawak, hoping to make amends for getting relegated to the Premier League next season, hit back with goals by Ashri Chuchu (18th) and Bobby Gonzales (65th).
