Perak head coach Mehmet Durakovic was all smiles after clinching the Malaysia Cup title for the fifth time in his football career.

The 53-year-old Australian had previously won the Malaysia Cup thrice as player, in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and in 2015 as head coach of Selangor, Malaysia's National News Agency (Bernama) reported today.

Perak won the Malaysia Cup title for the eighth time by defeating Terengganu FC (TFC) 4-1 in the penalty shoot-out after both teams were tied 3-3 in the final at the Shah Alam Stadium last night.

The previous titles were won in 1926, 1931, 1957, 1967, 1970, 1998 and 2000.

"To win with Perak after so many years and winning the cup after trailing 0-2 at halftime is amazing, and for me, tonight’s match should go down into Malaysian football history," he told a press conference after the match
