KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu FC II (TFC II) have earned the distinction of being the winners of the inaugural MFL Cup on Saturday.
TFC II, coached by Hairuddin Omar, edged Johor Darul Ta'zim II (JDT II) 1-0, with the winner coming from Isa Raman at KLFA Stadium.
The 23-year-old Isa scored in the 88th minute. However, Ubaidullah Shamsul, a national Under-23 player, was named as the competition's Most Valuable Player.
Ubaidullah said the MVP award will fire him up against JDT in the Malaysia Cup final on Dec 8.
Coach Hairuddin said: "It's a feeling (winning the MFL Cup) that I can't really describe. It's my first time as head coach, we went to the final and won the trophy."
JDT II coach, Mariano Echeverria, whose team had imports and naturalised players such as Endrick Dos Santos, Oscar Parribas and Shane Lowry, lamented they made only one mistake, and it cost them the match.
