Hariss Harun (Johor Darul Ta’zim) – Malaysia Super League (MSL)
Hariss Harun captained JDT to a comprehensive 3-0 away victory over MISC-MIFA in the Southern Tigers’ final fixture in Group C of the Malaysia Cup.

 

Coupled with Kelantan FA’s 2-0 win over Kedah FA on the same night, JDT were able to snatch top spot in Group C with nine points.

 

Kelantan’s heroics on the final match-day also saw them scrape into the last eight courtesy of a better goal difference over MISC-MIFA and Kedah after the trio had all finished on eight points.

 

JDT will face Pahang FA in the Quarter-Finals, with the first leg slated for 21 September.

Alhamdulillah, thank you again for the opportunity to be able to represent the country. I feel that it’s more of a duty and I’m honoured to carry it out. It’s a new team, new regime & a new era. We are again at a rebooting stage, learning baby steps and hopefully progress into full solid team. There’ll be tough hurdles ahead & we have to prepare well for those battles.. It’s ok to fall, but what matters most is how you get up.. Slowly, we’ll get there.. Now back to club commitments, see you guys soon.. 🤙🏼🤙🏼 #nationalteam #sgfootball #fifainternationalfriendly
