Sri Pahang’s misfortune continued in the 63rd minute when Azwan Aripin was shown a second yellow card for his action to drop Oti.
The situation was fully utilized by the visitors to score the winning goal in the 70th minute as a result of Hasbullah Abu Bakar’s glorious right foot explosion.
With the victory, Melaka United jumped to eighth place in the Super League with four points while Sri Pahang slipped to 10th place with one point and only differed in the number of goals with Sarawak United in the relegation zone.
