PETALING JAYA: There’s no time for Police coach Fauzi Pilus to rue their Malaysia Cup semi-final exit as he needs all his energy to fight the drop from the Super League.

The Cops, who were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Kedah after a goalless draw in the Malaysia Cup’s return leg in Malacca last Saturday, are embroiled in a five-team relegation battle in the Super League’s final day this Sunday.
