Felda chalked up an easy 4-0 win over Selangor in the first leg in Shah Alam on Oct 3.

In the match, the Red Giants opened the score through Paulo Rangel in the 30th minute but the advantage was cancelled out by an Edward Junior Wilson equaliser for Felda in the 48th minute.

Selangor then went into the lead four minutes later thanks to Andik Vermansah and later Rangel was on target again in the 62nd minute for a two goal advantage.

Felda closed the deficit seven minutes later with Edward’s second goal on the night before Indra Putra Mahayuddin tied the score with Felda’s third goal in the 85th minute.

The goal then prompted several Selangor supporters to throw a flare onto the pitch.
