A massive clash awaits in the second leg of the Piala FA Malaysia 2025/2026 Semi Final as Johor Darul Ta’zim FC (JDT) welcome Kuching City FC to the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. The tie remains delicately poised after the first leg in Kuching ended 1-2, setting the stage for a thrilling return leg in Iskandar Puteri.

JDT, unbeaten at home this season, continue to show their trademark dominance under their new coach. The Southern Tigers’ attacking rhythm and depth have been key to their strong run in both the Liga Super and domestic cup, with their front line firing consistently and the defence remaining one of the tightest in the country. The atmosphere in Johor Bahru is expected to be electric as the home fans push their team toward another cup final appearance.

On the other side, Kuching City FC arrive as one of the most impressive sides this season — sitting comfortably in the top three of the Liga Super and continuing to surprise critics with disciplined structure and quick counter-attacks. Despite a recent dip in form — including a home draw against Penang FC and a narrow Piala FA loss to Terengganu FC and JDT — the Cats have proven they can challenge Malaysia’s biggest names when it matters most.

With both sides eyeing a spot in the Piala FA final, this second leg promises high intensity, tactical battles, and moments of brilliance — the kind of night that defines Malaysian football at its best.
