LionsXII extend MSL lead
The LionsXII have extended their lead at the top of the Malaysian Super League to four points, after a hard-fought 3-1 win over 10-man PKNS at Jalan Besar Stadium on Monday night.
The home side came out fired up, but they couldn't find the net.
Instead, defensive rock Baihakki Khaizan saw a flash of yellow just at the end of the first half.
It's his 11th booking in total, meaning he will likely sit out the rest of the season.
The opener finally came in the second half when vice-captain Hariss Harun strolled in unmarked to head in a 54th-minute corner.
It was 2-0 just 3 minutes later - Nazrul Nazari's shot taking a wicked deflection for the goal.
It got worse for the visitors after Helmi Remeli was harshly sent sent off for a foul on Gabriel Quak.
With just a minute to go, Khairul Nizam came off the bench to make it 3-0.
Patrick Ronaldinho Wleh scored a minute later for the visitors, but it was not enough to stop an impressive Lions' win.
