KUALA Lumpur started their Razak Cup Division One campaign on a rusty note when they could only edge Penang 3-1 at the Kuantan Stadium yesterday.
The 19-time champions were blunt in penalty corners, as they could only score one rebound off the handful that came their way.
“Not a very bright start, as the team were a little rusty in attack and also in penalty corners. We had many more chances to increase the score, but failed,” said Kuala Lumpur coach K. Rajan.
However, Rajan is not overly worried with the slow start in Group B.
“I am confident that as the tournament progresses, my team will become better with each match as we aim to win our 20th title in Kuantan,” said Rajan.
The KL goals were scored by Nor Syafiq Sumantri (third) and Harvinder Singh (16th, 60th).
And the Penang attempt was made by Azren Rizal in the sixth minute.
In another Group B match, hosts Pahang fell 3-2 to Perak. The Perak goals were scored by Harmeet Singh (15th), Harris Fadilla (29th) and Hafifi Hafiz (66th).
Robert Alcantara (30th) and Ahmad Kazamirul (38th) scored for Pahang.
