In the 38th minute, Agba drove inside the box and was brought down for a penalty. He stepped up and converted from the spot.
The visitors did come out fighting in the second half, but despite having more ball possession than they did in the first period, they did not create enough to trouble Wilfred Jabun in Police's goal.
Agba was substituted during the second half due to a shoulder injury.
As for Kelantan United, this latest defeat sees them in 14th spot --- last in the league with four defeats from five matches thus far.
