Magrao credits players’ fighting spirit for lifting title


PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur coach Fabio Magrao was full of praise for his players after they ended a 17-year title drought by clinching the second-tier Premier League title.

The City boys slumped to a 3-1 loss to Johor Darul Ta’zim II (JDT II) at the Pasir Gudang Stadium in their final league match on Friday but still clinched the Premier League crown when title rivals Terengganu capitulated 3-1 to PKNP at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh.
