KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran striker Safee Sali hopes to taste action for Kuala Lumpur this Saturday as he will become the Malaysian player to win the AFC Cup twice if Bojan Hodak’s squad is able to tame Oman club Al Seeb in the final.

The 38-year-old tasted glory with Johor Darul Ta’zim back in 2015 when the club emerged champions after defeating Tajikistan club FC Istiklol 1-0 in the final.
