PETALING JAYA: Sabah salvaged a point in their opening Super League game after scoring a late equaliser against Kuala Lumpur in a 1-1 draw at the Cheras Stadium on Wednesday (Aug 13).
The visitors from the east had given away a goal after New Zealand winger Dane Ingham gave an own goal in the 65th minute.
But the Rhinos did not give up in their first league match. They pushed on and eventually managed to score an equaliser in injury time through Brazilian Gabriel Peres.
The late goal had ruined Kuala Lumpur’s night at home, as they looked to have started well by beating Immigration 3-0 last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Melaka’s opening game saw them come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against Penang at the Hang Jebat Stadium.
Australia’s Dylan Wenzel-Halls had given the visitors the lead in the 29th minute, but Juan Douglas Teles da Silva leveled things up in the 69th minute.
It was also a draw in Terengganu as they saw their match against Police end 2-2 at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium.
Police’s Bernard Doumbia was on form as he scored both goals to give his side the lead in the 12th and 53rd minutes.
But the Turtles answered through Azam Azmi in the 63rd minute, and Yann Mabella got a point for his side after converting a penalty in the final minutes.
