PETALING JAYA: Sabah are entering the Christmas period in a festive mood after confirming their spot in the Malaysia Cup semi-finals, where they will face Pahang.

Though the road ahead is going to be tougher for the Rhinos as they also take on Super League table toppers Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) on Jan 11 and then Pahang in the first leg of the prestigious cup competition on Jan 17, Slovakian coach Martin Stano wants his boys to savour the two-legged quarter-final win over Kuching City.
