PETALING JAYA: Pahang winger Christie Jayaseelan hopes his goal in the FA Cup semi-final win over Negri Sembilan will earn him a place in the May 20 final against Kedah.
Christie came in as a substitute and managed to score deep into stoppage time at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi on Saturday for a 2-1 second-leg win. Earlier, South Korean defender Heo Jae-won gave the Elephants the lead with a sixth-minute strike before Negri drew level through Japanese striker Bruno Suzuki in the 68th minute. Pahang reached the final on a 3-1 aggregate.
