Just when Terengganu were beginning to take a firm control of the match when the Lions were reduced to 10-man after referee Wan Mohd Tarmizi Wan Ibrahim had given Madhu Mohanna the marching orders in the 86th minute for a second bookable offence, a mistake by the Terengganu defence saw Hasmizan Kamarodin heading in Shahril's free kick into his own goal.
