PETALING JAYA: Selangor booked their berth in the Malaysia Cup semi-final in style after recording a 3-2 aggregate win over Perak in second leg of the quarter-finals at the Shah Alam Stadium.

The Red Giant's who were trailing to Perak 0-1 in the first leg played in Ipoh on Sept 22, got off to a barn-storming start as they beat the Seladang 3-1 in the return leg on Sunday (Sept 29).


Winger Syazwan Zainon started the ball rolling with his 33rd minute strike before forward Mohd Khyril Muhymeen Zambri hit a brace in the 45th and 68th minute to put the host in the driving seat in the tie.

Perak reduced the deficit in the 83rd minute through midfielder Brendan Gan's goal but it proved too late as


Selangor shored up the defence and held on to the win.

Selangor will take on Super League champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in the semi-final.

The first leg of the semi-finals will be held on Oct 18,19,20 and the return leg is scheduled on Oct 25 and 26.
