Hariss Harun (Johor Darul Ta’zim) – Malaysia Super League (MSL)
Hariss Harun captained JDT in their recent Malaysia Cup fixtures as the MSL champions earned three out of a possible six points against Kuala Lumpur and Kelantan.

 

JDT’s stuttering form in the 16-team competition sees them occupy bottom spot in Group C with three points after three matches played.

 

JDT’s fate in the competition is still very much in their own hands, as group leaders, MISC-MIFA are only on six points while Kuala Lumpur and Kelantan have four each.

Safuwan Baharudin started both of Pahang FA’s recent Malaysia Cup victories, which were enough for Pahang to top their group with seven points at the midway point of the group stage.

 

Pahang FA kept a clean sheet in both matches and are slowly clicking into form as they bid to win the domestic cup double — a feat they last accomplished in 2014 — after triumphing in the Malaysia FA Cup last month.

Faris Ramli scored his ninth goal of the current campaign to put PKNS 2-0 up against Felda United on 19 August, but Felda then scored three goals without reply to condemn PKNS to their first defeat in the Malaysia Cup.

 

PKNS had salvaged an stunning 3-3 draw against Melaka United a week earlier, scoring three times after the 87th minute to erase a huge three-goal deficit.

 

PKNS are currently second in Group B in the 2018 Malaysia Cup on four points after three matches.

The thrilling encounter ended 4-4 at full time after a Bangkok Glass penalty late into second-half stoppage time sent the match into extra time.

 

Bangkok Glass then scored a goal in each half of extra time to secure a spot in the Thai League Cup semi-finals where they will face Buriram United.
