Coach Hodak's faith in Nwakaeme paying dividends


PETALING JAYA: Kelantan coach Bojan Hodak’s decision to register Nigerian striker Dickson Nwakaeme instead of the highly-rated Australian youngster Dimitri Petratos for the M-League is finally paying dividends.

 It was Nwakaeme who scored the late extra-time winner to steer Kelantan to a 6-5 aggregate win over Terengganu at the Sultan Ismail Stadium in Kuala Terengganu on Tuesday to reach the FA Cup final.
