PETALING JAYA: Kedah are in the FA Cup final but a second-half collapse in the 2-3 loss to Felda United has forced coach Aidil Shahrin to make a hasty retreat to the drawing board.

The Red Eagles were 2-0 up in the second leg of the semi-final at the Tun Abdul Razak Stadium in Jengka on Sunday but conceded three goals in the second half to lose 2-3. The tie ended 3-3 on aggregate but Kedah still advanced on the away-goals rule.
