PETALING JAYA: Defending champions Pahang were made to slog by minnows Malaysia Indian Sports Council-Malaysia Indian Football Association (MISC-MIFA) before claiming their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a slim 2-1 victory.

The east coast giants were tipped to bury the third-tier FAM Cup side with plenty of goals, but it did not happen at all at the Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan on Saturday night.
