PETALING JAYA: Discipline, dedication and dogged determination saw Pahang escape with a draw in the first leg of their Malaysia Cup semi-final match against Sabah at the Likas Stadium in Kota Kinabalu on Saturday.
The home team were the favourites and had rousing support from their home fans but Pahang did all they could to avoid a defeat and won praise from their coach Fandi Ahmad.
