Format

edit

This season, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced a new format where only 16 teams will be involved in this competition, compared to the 20 teams represented last season.[5] The final stages of the competition would feature a format change: The round of 16 would be played in a single-leg format, while the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be played two legs (home & away), except for the final which was played as a single leg.[6][7] The competition no uses the away goals rule, which was abolished since 2022 season.[8] Accordingly, if in a two-legged tie two teams scored the same number of aggregate goals, the winner of the tie would not be decided by the number of away goals scored by each team but always by 30 minutes of extra time, and if the two teams scored the same number of goals in extra time, the winner would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

  2. ^ The match was temporarily suspended in the 66th minute, and delay for 20 minutes due to a floodlight failure.[31]
