MALAYSIA CUP: ATM 1 - PULAU PINANG 1
ATM failed to capitalize their home advantage after being held by Pulau Pinang 1-1 at the Selayang Stadium last night. The Gladiators were unable to find the right rhythm against the Malaysia Cup underdogs.
Twenty minutes after the kick-off, ATM finally got a little bit of tune as they started to launch a number of attacks towards the visitors. Their efforts paid off when Hairuddin Omar beat Penang's goalkeeper for the lead in the 26th minutes. Pulau Pinang did not give up. They managed to overcome further threats from ATM. Rafiuddin Roddin grabbed the equalizer one minute before the break after his strike beat Syed Adney.
ATM returned to the pitch aiming for a win. However, they were unable to display their real potential. Penang had nothing to lose and took advantage of the under performing opponent. The visitors almost grab the winner but Rafiuddin's strike hit the bar late into the added time. The match ended 1-1 which could be an important point for the Islanders.
