JOHOR BARU: Mohamadou Sumareh turned out to be Pahang’s hero as he scored a late goal to dump defending champions Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) out of the FA Cup.

With JDT overturning a 3-1 first-leg deficit with a 2-0 lead on the night at the Larkin Stadium, the Gambian forward rose highest in the 85th minute to head home to give Pahang a 4-3 aggregate win and a place in the semi-finals.
