PETALING JAYA: Kelantan’s tactical game plan to bring on key players after the breather worked to perfection when they defeated Hong Kong’s South China 2-0 in an AFC Cup Group G match at the Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru.

Former Harimau Muda A winger Wan Zaharulnizam Zakaria opened accounts from a neat set-piece in the 71st minute before substitute Mohd Ghaddar Mahmoud increased the lead six minutes from time.
