After making a big splash in the transfer window prior to the start of the 2019 season, the FA Cup would have been one of Melaka's top priority this year but Zainal Abidin Hassan's side failed to even clear the first hurdle. A 3-2 reverse to PKNS FC in the second round ended their dreams of going deep in the competition.
Without the Darko Markovic and Liridon Krasniqi in the side, Melaka looked sub-par for best part of the game and subsequently found themselves 3-0 behind after 70 minutes played. Only a late charge made the scoreline look closer than what it really should be.
