AFC Cup: Kelantan in quarter finals

AFC Cup: Kelantan in quarter-finals

Norfarhan Muhammad scored twice in the first half to help Kelantan edge Malaysian east coast rivals Terengganu in 3-2 in Kota Bahru, Wednesday (23/5/12) to advance to the AFC Cup quarter-finals.

The Red Warriors adapted better to the soggy conditions at the Sultan Mohammad IV Stadium in the opening half and stormed into a 3-0 lead at the interval thanks to Norfarhan’s brace and a stunning free-kick by Rizal Fahmi Abdul Rosid on the stroke of half-time.

However, Terengganu battled back in the second half and Ismail Faruqi cut the deficit before Francis Doe netted a penalty five minutes from time to set up a tense finale against a Kelantan side reduced to 10 players following the dismissal of Nwaneri Obinna.
