Perak faced very little resistance from Kelantan United, and advanced to the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals with a straightforward win.
PERAK
Hafizul Hakim - 7/10
Save for a few of the visitors' chances which hit the woodwork, the goalkeeper was seldom called into action.
Amirul Azhan - 7/10
The right back had a straightforward time guarding his flank.
Shahrul Saad - 7/10
The centre back put in an adequate performance to help his team keep a clean sheet and record a win.
Tarik Isic - 7/10
The central defender who was recently promoted from Perak II must have found the encounter the perfect chance to familiarise himself with the first team, a competitive match against a much weaker team.
Rafiuddin Roddin - 7/10
The left back was seldom troubled by the visitors down his flank.
J. Partiban - 7/10
The right winger put in a relatively quiet shift on a night Perak did not have to go into gear two.
Kenny Pallraj - 7/10
A good outing for the midfielder, who helped his side dominate the midfield.
Leandro dos Santos - 9/10 (Man of the Match)
A fantastic night for a player who is not his team's main goal-getter. On top of helping the hosts dominate the middle of the park, dos Santos also ended on the scoresheet three times in the match.

Firdaus Saiyadi - 7/10
The left winger had a good night and managed an assist for the opening goal, but after he became a constant target of the visitors' tough tackling and picked up a booking, he was taken off early in the second half.
Careca - 8/10
The forward had a relatively quiet night, save for an assist for Perak's third goal, and his late goal.
Shahrel Fikri - 8/10
The forward worked hard throughout the match, dropping down often to help win back the ball, and came away with two assists.
Substitutions:
Adib Ra'op, Khairil Anuar, Nazirul Naim, Farid Khazali - N/A
Second half substitutions who did enough to help the Bos Gaurus maintain their supremacy.
KELANTAN UNITED
Syazwan Yusoff - 5/10
There was very little the custodian could do on a night his team and defence were not performing well.
Daudsu Jamaludin - 4/10
The right back and skipper underwhelmed in the encounter for someone with as much as experience as he is, failing to lead his defence.
Aylton Ferreira - 5/10
The centre back could not keep the more dominant home team attackers out of his team's danger area.
Faizol Nazlin - 5/10
The defender was not able to give Perak forwards a tougher time.
Aziz Ismail - 5/10
The left back could not help defend his goal.
Shahrul Hakim - 5/10
The right winger did not turn in the kind of performance that is needed when playing against the favourites as underdogs.
Adil Kouskous - 5/10
Kelantan United's midfield department failed to work as a unit in support of their attack, and Kouskous had to make way for Rozaimi Azwar early in the second half.
Alfusainey Gassama - 5/10
A disappointing night for the midfielder.
Alif Romli - 5/10
The left winger could not play a bigger part in the encounter.
Fakhrul Zaman - 5/10
The forward failed to make himself a more dangerous threat to the hosts.
Selwan Sinan - 4/10
The Swedish-Iraqi forward struggled to combine well with the midfielders and looked isolated in the first half. Having picked up a needless booking, he was substituted off at the start at the second half.
Substitutions:
Fazrul Amir, Rozaimi Azwar, Aizzat Maidin, Ikhwan Yazek - N/A
Second half changes that could not help change the game's outcome.
