Semi-final second leg at Stadium Shah Alam, Selangor. Last match jdt won with 2-1 against Selangor at Stadium Larkin Johor Bahru. But Selangor has an advantage 1 away goal.
Selangor coach B.Sathianathan is hunting for the 2019 Malaysia Cup final ticket as the most valuable gift and will be giving a double cheer in conjunction with Deepavali's celebration this Sunday. Not only that, if the Red Giants manage to get rid of Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in the semi-finals this Saturday, he also wants to dedicate the victory to all Selangor fans who also celebrate Deepavali.
Sathianathan is also confident that playing on the night of Deepavali will be an additional motivation for other Hindu players such as K.Sarkunan, K.Prabakaran, and A.Namathevan.
“This is what I want, not only for myself and the players who are with this team but for the Selangor supporters especially Hindus. "We want to make the Deepavali festivals a wonderful and meaningful place for them, so I hope we can get to the final of the Malaysia Cup," he said.
In the meantime, Sathianathan confirmed that they would continue to lose midfielder Endrick Dos Santos who had not recovered from a spinal injury but was not worried about the situation.
Sandro Da Silva's presence was enough to make Sathianathan smile as Sarkunan and Abdul Halim Shaari were able to play a central role to curb JDT's dominance.
“Endrick is a player who has helped us in the past and his absence is certainly a loss to the team in this situation. However, I still have players like Sarkunan or Halim to play in the midfield besides Sandro's return with the team."Two months on the break, he almost got a rhythm in the first half of the game although it wasn't quite the same when he played in the league but I think he will be better prepared for the conditions at the training ground," he said
In the first leg match, the JDT won 2-1 at Tan Sri Dato Hj Stadium. Hassan Yunos, Larkin with goals from Syafiq Ahmad and Leandro Velazquez while Ifedayo Olusegun became Selangor's sole scorer Sandro, meanwhile, is optimistic that he will be able to make a stronger showing during the JDT visit to the Shah Alam Stadium after playing for 75 minutes in Larkin.
“After a long absence and through a difficult match against JDT, I am relieved to be able to help the team there. Now that I am more positive with my fitness level for the JDT on my own site, I think we can do something and then make our way to the finals, ”he said.
