Malaysia Cup Final 1968

     In Malaysia Cup 1968, Selangor and Penang qualified to the final. It was held in Merdeka Stadium whereby Selangor defeating Penang with the big scores of 8-1. It was a tragic loss for Penang that loss with large amount of scores. Unbelievable, but its a reality and Selangor got the GREATEST TEAM in this final game coached by E.C. Dutton and captained by Abdullah Noordin. Among the scorers in this final game from Selangor team was N. Thanabalan and Zulkifli Norbit. N. Thanabalan made a record as the most scored number of goals in Malaysia Cup Final with 4 goals and his record still cant be betaen till today. It was a controversial match where everyone can't believe that Penang defeated to Selangor with the scores of 1-8 in this Malaysia Cup 1968 final. Whatever its is, Selangor was the GREATEST TEAM in 1968.
