PKNS FC opened their 2019 Malaysia Cup campaign with an away defeat to Terengganu FC on Friday.
In the Group A match, Jafri Chew's 30th minute goal cancelled out Sanjar Shaakhmedov's sixth minute opener, but Nasrullah Johan put the hosts in front again through his strike in the 38th minute, before Shaakhmedov sealed the win deep in injury time.
The defeat has also stretched the Red Ants' winless streak in all competitions to eight matches.
PKNS boss Datuk Rajagobal Krishnasamy remarked after the match that his charges lost due to their penchant for conceding too quickly, despite playing relatively well.
