Melaka head into the international break on a high after recording a slim win on Perak territory as Filipino Patrick Reichelt grabbed a brace to shoot to the top of the goal scoring charts in the 2019 Malaysia Super League as well as helping his team climb to fourth spot, ahead of Selangor.
The visitors fell behind to a Brendan Gan long range strike before Nazrin Nawi replied with his own version from a free kick. Right before the half time whistle, Reichelt scored his first when he turned Nazirul Naim inside the box and placed the ball beyond Khairul Amri in Perak's goal.
