Friday's Malaysia Super League Results
T-Team 0-3 Terengganu

Malaysia Super League leaders LIONSXII were in resplendent form on Saturday evening as they cruised to a 9-0 rout over a hapless Sabah at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

Heading into Saturday's game, many had been wondering where the goals were going to come from for the LIONSXII, given the number of injuries they have had in the attacking department.

With Shahril Ishak, Khairul Amri and Khairul Nizam all ruled out and Sufian Anuar only just back in training, Sundramoorthy opted to deploy the oft-criticised Casmir as a lone striker and it only took him 19 minutes to repay his coach's faith.

The Singapore outfit raced to a three-goal lead in the first half courtesy of an Agu Casmir close-range strike and a brace from Hariss Harun, before Shahdan Sulaiman added a double shortly after the hour mark to make it 5-0.

Irwan Shah got in on the act in the 65th minute, Hariss completed his hat-trick five minutes later before Sufian Anuar and an own-goal from Shahrul Azhar Ture capped off a magnificent night for the V. Sundramoorthy's charges.

And while second-placed Kelantan remain just six points behind with five games in hand after a 2-1 win over Kedah, the LIONSXII ensured they let their title rivals know they aren't giving up yet without a fight.

Defending Malaysia Super League champions Kelantan
kept up their chase of leaders LIONSXII with a 2-1 win over Kedah on Saturday evening.

The Red Warriors went ahead in the first half courtesy of an own-goal, before Lebanon international Mohammed Ghaddar doubled their advantage when he netted in the 54th minute.

However, Kedah pulled one back in the 88th minute through Khyril Muhymeen Zambri, although Kelantan held on for the three points.
