After securing a phenomenal 2-1 win against Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) in the first-leg of their FA Cup tie last Saturday, Kedah’s squad now have a bigger incentive to upset JDT in the second leg.
Kedah Football Association President, Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah has promised to financially reward the players if they are able to protect their 2-1 lead over JDT and secure a spot in the final of the FA Cup.
“Congratulations to the team for beating JDT, who were unbeaten in the FA Cup, prior to that. If Kedah manages to qualify to the final, we’ll definitely give them an incentive or reward,” he told Harian Metro.
Kedah’s hopes of booking a spot in the final of the FA Cup looks bright after their win but playing at the Larkin Stadium, in front of the Southern Tigers’ home crowd isn’t going to be easy. Ahmad Bashah though, remains optimistic.
“If the players retain their confidence and use it during the second leg, I’m sure they will be good enough to secure a win,” he added.
