Terengganu FC gave their home crowd at Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium plenty to smile about after pulling off a 2-1 win in the first leg of the 2019 FA Cup quarterfinal clash against Pahang. The home side ran away with a 2-0 lead in the first half courtesy of efforts from Malik Ariff (9') and Tchetche Kipre (27') but complications in the second half put a slight dampener on proceedings.
Concession of a 58th minute goal to Ze Love gave Pahang the all-important away goal where a 1-0 home win in the return fixture would be enough to send them through to the semi-final for the third consecutive seasons.
