In a match counting for the eleventh day of the Malaysian first division soccer championship, Sony Nordé and Melaka United suffered at home against Sarawak (2-3) despite their good start.

After its draw (0-0) last Saturday against FC Negeri, Melaka United, which has not won in league since May 6, has not finished licking its wounds by losing (2-3) in its home of Hang Jebat against Sarawak, a match counting for the eleventh day of the Malaysian Super league of soccer.

Zainal Abidin Hassan’s men started the game well with the opening goal of the grenadier Sony Nordé (17′, 1-0) but was joined 5 minutes later by Gonzalo Soto (1-1). Thirsty for victory, the green and white came out with their big game and eventually took the lead through Muhammad Syazwan Andik (34′, 2-1). Score at halftime.

Back on the green turf, the hosts unfortunately did not find the net again to increase their lead. On the other hand, the team of Sarawak United, more realistic, scored twice to win the match thanks to a double of Francis Koné Kouassi (61′, 93′).

After this setback, FC Melaka United drops to 10th place with 8 points, while their opponent climbs to 7th place with 10 points.
