Moroccan coach Merzagua Abderrazak return to Penang, this time as Sungai Ara FC coach after leading the state side to the FAM Cup title in 2013.

GEORGE TOWN: The prospect of playing in the biggest match in their history will whet Sungai Ara FC’s appetite when they take on the Malaysian Indian Sports Council-Malaysian Indian FA (MISC-MIFA) in the FA Cup second round at the City Stadium on Friday.

The reward for the winners of this tie is a third-round meeting with either Malaysia Cup champions Pahang or the Super League winners Johor Darul Ta’zim, who meet in Kuantan on Monday.
