PETALING JAYA: A missed late penalty proved costly for Kuching City as Brunei held on for a dramatic 3-2 win in their FA Cup round-of-16 first leg match at the Petaling Jaya Stadium on Saturday (Aug 16).

The hosts made a dream start when Indonesian forward Ramadhan Sananta slid a defence-splitting pass for skipper Azwan Ali Rahman, who coolly slotted past goalkeeper Haziq Nadzli in the fifth minute.
