PETALING JAYA: Selangor coach Zainal Abidin Hassan heaved a huge sigh of relief after watching his side keep their AFC Cup dream alive.

Had it not been for Liberian striker Patrick Wleh’s last-gasp winner against Bangladesh club Dhanmondi in their AFC Cup Group E match at the Selayang Municipal Stadium on Tuesday, fans would probably be baying for Zainal’s blood.
