Elsewhere, the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) beat Felda United FC by a solitary goal at the Petaling Jaya Municipal Council Stadium in Kelana Jaya through Hairuddin Omar who nodded in a free kick by Rezal Zambery Yahya in the ninth minute.

Johor Darul Takzim (Johor DT), who lost 2-0 to MAF last Tuesday, made a comeback by beating PKNS FC 3-1 at the Tan Sri Hassan Yunos Stadium, Larkin, Johor Baharu to finish third in the league.

In the afternoon, Terengganu were held to a 2-2 draw by Pahang at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium in Kuala Terengganu.
