The Southern Tigers had new singnings Patito Rodriguez and Alhaji Kamara in their line-up, while Kelantan also named Austin Amutu and Gilmar Filho to strenghthen their squad.

The Southern Tigers finally found their touch after levelling the score. They took the lead five minutes later when Kamara's curling attempt beat Khairul Fahmi. Kelantan started to feel the pressure, coach Azraai Khor sent in Fakri Saarani for McKain in the 28th minute. However the his introduction could stop the firing JDT. Amri Yahya made it 3-1 for the Southern Tigers with a powerful grounder in the 41st minute.
Kelantan threw everything in the second half but Bojan Hodak's boys were already cruising to victory. Wan Zack Haikal was sent in but could not find the net. JDT held on tightly to earn the three points in Larkin.
