| Selangor whip star-studded Johor DT 4-1 Posted: 09 Mar 2013 02:39 PM PST  KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 — Selangor made star-studded Johor Darul Takzim (Johor DT) look like novices after scoring a thumping 4-1 win in their Super League match at the Shah Alam Stadium, last night. Though Johor DT are regarded as the 'dream team' in the Super League, it was Selangor who looked like championship material as their forwards S. Kunalan and Francis Forkey Doe cut through the Johor defence with ease. It was only a matter of time or rather minutes before Selangor took the lead through Kunalan whose intended cross sailed into the Johor goal as early as the 4th minute while Forkey made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute to take a healthy half time lead. Selangor continued from where they let off when Mahalli Jasuli made it 3-0 in the 67th minute while Mohd Amri Yahyah added the fourth in the 69th minute. With all three points in the bag, Selangor seemed to ease the pressure and allowed the Johor DT side coached by Fandi Ahmad to claw back and reduce the deficit through Norshahrul Idlan Talaha's 75th minute strike. The win saw Selangor move into second spot behind leader Armed Forces, although both teams have the same amount of points while Johor DT dropped from second spot to fourth. Lions XII from Singapore moved into third place after a narrow 1-0 win over Kelantan at the Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore, courtesy of Shahfiq Ghani's 87th minute strike. In Seremban, Negeri Sembilan remained firmly at the bottom of the league table after losing 0-1 to Felda United at their own backyard, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi. A 30-minute power failure which caused a blackout at the stadium proved to be a bad omen when substitute Razali Umar Kandasamy struck Felda United's winning goal in the 40th minute. – Bernama |
| Wigan shock Everton to reach first FA Cup semi-final Posted: 09 Mar 2013 06:51 AM PST
The visitors, facing another relegation battle in the Premier League and underdogs in this quarter-final, had effectively booked their place in the last four after 34 minutes following goals from Maynor Figueroa, Callum McManaman and Jordi Gomez. Defender Figueroa headed Wigan in front from a corner in the 30th minute, former Everton schoolboy McManaman capitalised on Phil Neville's mistake to double the lead 90 seconds later, and Gomez, the Spanish midfielder, made it three with an exquisite left-foot curler from 20 metres. Manchester City are aiming to join Wigan in the semi-finals when they host Barnsley of the Championship (second division) later today. Tomorrow, Millwall face Blackburn Rovers in an all-Championship tie and Manchester United meet Chelsea in the remaining sixth-round match. Both semi-finals will take place at Wembley on the weekend of April 13 and 14. — Reuters |
