KUCHING: Sarawak gave high flying visitors Kelantan a scare with high quality football before going down 0-2 to the Super League champions in their Malaysia Cup opener at the State Stadium last night.

Playing for the first time at night in State Stadium, and cheered by some 20,000 supporters Sarawak went on a very promising start in the first half.

In the 5th minute Sarawak got a second corner.

The game continued with both side exchanging attack but the game ended at 0-0 at half time.

Kelantan superiority were evident in the second half when they changed the game plan to punish the tiring Sarawak players.

The move paid off when Sarawak defenders made unnecessary errors resulting from Kelantan strikers solo effort.

Hairol Moktar backpass to Chun Keng Hong were robbed by Norshahrul. Norshahrul controlled the ball before coolly slot the ball home to give Kelantan the lead in 63rd minutes.

Norshahrul again created kelantan second goal when he side-stepped Sarawak defender before passing the ball to S Chanturu to beat Aidil Mohd.

Kelantan were fielding their regular first eleven plus Pahang on-loan striker, Mohd Azamuddin Mohd Akil.

Both teams made three substitutes in the second half.
