Wilayah Persekutuan almost blew a two goal advantage before scrapping a 4-2 win over Terengganu at the Sukpa Stadium in a Group A match of the Malaysian Games in Kuantan, Pahang this evening.
And they were also fortunate that Terengganu ace striker Faisal Saari was hampered by an ankle and hip injury and played well below his normal self.
Wilayah took the lead in the 8th minute through Mohd Noor Faeez Ibrahim who converted a penalty corner. nd they went 2-0 up in the 26th minute through the efforts of Muhammad Ramadhan Rosli.
Just when it looked as if Wilayah were coasting to a win, Terengganu reduced the deficit in the 30th minute through an snap shot by Faisal from the edge of the semi circle.
Barely two minutes upon the second half resumption, Terengganu were on level terms through Mohammad Firhan Ashaari.
But Wilayah hit a purple patch in the space of two minutes. First it was Mohd Zulhairi Hashim who made it 3-2 by scoring in the 62th minute. And two minutes later Nor Izzat Sumantri capped a brilliant performance when his sweet reverse stick hot sailed into goal for a 4-2 win, their second in as many matches after a 8-1 win over Negeri Sembilan the previous.
In other matches, Negeri Sembilan defeated Kelantan 3-2 while Selangor coasted to a 4-1 win over Kedah.
