One-Goal Lead Over TFC Leaves Immigration FC Coach Sweating
He is well aware that their one-goal advantage could easily be wiped out when they travel to Gong Badak for the return leg on Sept 13.
"Terengganu will definitely play an attacking game, and we need to get through another punishing 90 minutes (in Gong Badak). So, we must weather the storm there and make sure we are at our best, especially as we will welcome two more imported players this week," he said at the post-match press conference.

IFC are expecting two players from Brazil - midfielder Pedro Santos and defender Vinicius Milani - for this season.
But, before that, the Mighty Tigers have to gear up for another tough mission - a meeting against Malaysian powerhouse Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in the third match of the Super League on Aug 27.
Meanwhile, TFC coach Badrul Afzan Razali considered today's defeat as punishment for the players' negligence in the second half.
"Anyway, we still have another 90 minutes to play in Gong Badak," he said.
Earlier, after a goalless stalemate in the first half at the Batu Kawan State Stadium, the match exploded into life when Yann Mabella put visitors TFC ahead in the 50th minute before IFC equalised four minutes later through Rafael Iserhard Holstein.
It was then left to import player Joao Pedro to grab IFC's winning goal in the final minute of the thrilling match, which also saw three goals being chalked off by the referee.

What price glory?
Firdaus came to prominence when he won a bronze medal at the World Junior Track Cycling Championships. IN a small corner of the Youth and Sports Ministry, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the Bike And Bean cafe greets visitors, yet behind the pleasant scent lies the story of former cycling hero Mohd Firdaus Mohd Zonis, once hailed as a great hope in Malaysia's track cycling arena. His name began to make waves among local sports fans in 2014 when he delivered a bronze medal at the World Junior Track Cycling Championships, an achievement that established him as one of the nation's most promising prospects. That triumph at a young age made him the first Malaysian since Adiq Husainie (2008) to step onto the podium in the men's 1km time trial, earning him a place among the successors to Datuk Azizulhasni Awang. The achievement was further cemented by the national junior record in the 200m sprint, which still stands to this day, a silent testament to his prowess on the track. However, behind the cheers and podium finishes lay a story seldom told – the physical exhaustion, mental pressure, and injuries that gradually eroded his fighting spirit. Firdaus with his gold medal after winning the junior keirin event while Azizulhasni Awang took silver in the elite category at the 2014 Asian Cycling Championships in Kazakhstan. 'Moving up to the senior level, the training got heavier. I felt I wasn't good enough even though I gave my best. Small recurring injuries eventually became a big burden,' said Firdaus, recalling the period when his passion began to fade. Everything came to a head when he was diagnosed with L4 and L5 slip disc injuries, forcing him to make the painful decision to end a career he had dreamed of since childhood far earlier than expected. Although he once sank into disappointment, Firdaus found his own way to rise again after hanging up his bike – by shifting his path to bicycle repairs. For Firdaus, success does not necessarily come in the form of medals hanging around the neck, but in the ability to get back up, find life's meaning after sport, and most importantly, heal oneself. 'I hope there will be more awareness about burnout among young athletes, so they know they are not alone and that there is support if they need it,' he said. Firdaus' experience is not an isolated case, as former national junior tennis player Wan Abdul Muiz Wan Aziz went through a similar phase. Mohd Firdaus Mohd Zonis said physical exhaustion, mental pressure and injuries gradually eroded his fighting spirit. — Cycle Eighty Eight Sdn Bhd Facebook Once ranked sixth in Malaysia at the age of 16, Wan Abdul Muiz admitted that early success came with extraordinary pressure. The Kelantan-born athlete, who started playing tennis at the age of 10, was once considered one of the country's brightest talents, but the glitter came at a heavy price. 'People think kids just enjoy playing. But the pressure from coaches, parents, or even oneself is very heavy. 'At one point I felt lazy to train and started to question what all this meant,' he said. Training for eight to 10 hours a day while juggling academic responsibilities and high expectations caused Muiz to lose interest in the sport he once loved. What made it worse was that requests for help were often met with stigma. Wan Abdul Muiz Wan Abdul Aziz was once ranked sixth in Malaysia at the age of 16. 'Our culture sometimes assumes that if you can't take it, you're weak. Mental health support for young athletes is very limited. Many don't understand the emotional burden we carry,' he said. The stories of Firdaus and Muiz are a reminder that behind the roaring cheers lies the silent side of sports – a challenge that demands more than just physical strength, but also resilience of the heart and mental well-being. — Bernama

Immigration stamp their authority with first-leg victory
Aerial attack: Terengganu's Engku Mohd Nur Shakir Engku Yacob (right) in action against an Imigration player. — Bernama PETALING JAYA: Immigration stunned fellow Super League outfit Terengganu with a dramatic 2-1 win in their FA Cup round of 16, first-leg clash at the Batu Kawan Stadium in Penang yesterday. French striker Yan Mabella gave the visitors the lead in the 50th minute, but Immigration showed grit and character to fight back. Brazilian winger Rafael Holstein equalised just four minutes later before his compatriot, striker Joao Pedro, sent the home fans into raptures with the winner in the dying minutes. Head coach Yusri Che Lah praised his men for their resilience, especially after a shaky first half. 'Alhamdulillah, this victory is a blessing. It gives confidence to the players, especially since this is our first season competing at this level. The FA Cup is very different from the league, and today the boys showed great spirit,' said Yusri. However, Yusri admitted he is still expecting more from his foreign signings. 'They have only been here for a short time, just about two weeks, and are still adjusting. I'm not dissatisfied with them, but I want them to take this as a lesson and improve their fitness and rhythm. 'Once they are fully settled, they will give us a lot more,' he added. Despite the win, Yusri knows the job is far from over as Immigration will face Terengganu in the return leg on Sept 13 in Gong Badak. Meanwhile, in Paroi, Sabah all but booked their quarter-final spot after demolishing Bunga Raya 6-0 at the Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Darren Lok stole the show with a hattrick (10th, 47th, 53rd minutes, the last from the penalty spot), while Fergus Tierney (18th), Jafri Firdaus Chew (45+1, penalty), and Bosnian forward Ajdin Mujagic (81st) completed the rout.

JDT's new faces make instant impact
Fierce battle: JDT's Teto Martin (front) vying for the ball with UM-Damansara's Saiful Iskandar Adha Saiful Azlan. — Bernama PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta'zim coach Xisco Munoz says his side are only just finding their rhythm despite a commanding 5-0 win over UM-Damansara in the FA Cup round of 16 first-leg tie, a result that highlighted the champions' depth. 'It's very important because some players never played together before, and they had a good connection tonight,' said the Spaniard after the match. 'I'm happy with the players who debuted – they understood our style, they gave intensity, and most importantly, they showed ambition.' At the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Saturday, Argentine wingback Jonathan Silva proved the catalyst, breaking the deadlock with a sharp finish in the 44th minute before doubling the lead 10 minutes into the second half. From there, JDT's new faces stepped into the spotlight. Spanish forward Teto Martin marked his debut with a goal in the 78th minute, while national striker Joao Figueiredo (90th) and young winger Celso Bermejo (91st) capped the rout. For Munoz, the result was less about the scoreline and more about the progress of his reshaped squad. Several players were handed their first starts, and the coach was eager to emphasise that the performance showed signs of chemistry developing. 'Once we scored the first goal, the game became more open. After that, we had more chances, more intensity in the wide areas, and the team played with better rhythm.' The coach also singled out Bermejo, the 20-year-old debutant who scored within minutes of coming on. 'He came in with ambition, and for a striker, the most important thing is to score. It gives confidence, and for us, it shows we have players pushing every single day to give their maximum.' Still, Munoz stressed that August was far too early to talk about peak form. With multiple competitions ahead – including the AFC Champions League where JDT face three Japanese clubs – the Spaniard underlined the need for patience. 'In my life, when I learn something, it's because I make a mistake first. So we will make mistakes, but we will improve,' he said. 'Every day, we try to build better connections, better solutions, and the most important thing is that when you are in JDT, you must always give your maximum.'
