Felda United stunned FA Cup Champions Pahang 3-2 in Kuantan yesterday. The high flying elephants were having a good run by winning two earlier matches but could not stop Felda United's determinations. The home side broke the dead lock in the 17th minute from Gopi. But Felda United were quick to respond with the equalizer 7 minutes later through their most valuable striker, Edward Jr Wilson.
Pahang were rewarded a penalty just four minutes after the restart. Mathias Conti did not make any mistake from the spot to put the Elephants in front again. Felda doubled their efforts and charged further into Pahang's area. Edward Jr Wilson found the net again in the 64th minute to make it 2-2.
The Fighters did not go to Kuantan looking for a draw. Shukor Adan turned into captain marvel when he scored the winning goal in the 77th minute. Felda United held tight to secure full points from the match. The win sent them to the top of Group A with 7 points, while Pahang fell to second position after 3 matches.
