Leaders Kedah cleared a tough hurdle with a 2-0 win over Petaling Jaya City FC to keep their place at the top of the table in the Super League with an unbeaten record after four matches.

The three points at the Petaling Jaya FC saw the Red Eagles retain their place with 10 points but that scenario could change when second-placed Pahang take on winless Selangor in Kuantan on Sunday.

Third-placed Johor Darul Takzim, the defending champions will fourth-placed Melaka United at the Larkin Stadium in Johor Bahru on Saturday.

At the Cheras Football Stadium visitors, Terengganu finally ended their three-match winless streak with a 1-0 win over Kuala Lumpur which took the Turtles to the fifth spot after four matches.

Montenegro defender Igor Zonjic snatched the winner on 69 minutes when the 27-year-old went up to head home past Sharbinee Allawee off a corner by English-born Lee Tuck.

For Kedah, it was their toughest match yet but took their chances well to score twice in the first half.

Former JDT and Melaka United player Syahrul Azwari opened the scoring after seven minutes and Fernando Rodriguez added the second in the 41st minute from a counter attack.

PJ City FC found it difficult to get past the well marshaled Kedah defense built around Renan Alves who was a pillar of strength for the Red Eagles. RIZAL ABDULLAH
