Anticipation |
|
On November 3, 2013, Pahang football fans eagerly anticipated the Malaysia Cup
Final between Pahang and Kelantan. The match was scheduled to kick off at 7.30
p.m. in the Shah Alam Stadium, and over 80,000 fans adorned the venue with
flags, banners, and team logos. Busloads of supporters arrived early in the
afternoon, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.
Five minutes before the game began, the stadium was alive with the sounds of
kompangs, or Malay drums, as fans tried to boost the players' morale. Outside
the stadium, fans waited in long queues to enter or purchase last-minute
tickets, with ticket touts offering tickets at inflated prices.
Hawkers outside the stadium were doing brisk business, selling food, drinks, and
even brightly-colored balloons for children. The scene was a colorful mix of
sounds, smells, and sights, with fans dressed casually or in traditional wear.
As the game began, fans outside the stadium joined in the excitement, cheering
and shouting as the finals unfolded. The crowd was diverse, with a mix of
Chinese, Indian, and Malay fans of all ages. Some families even had picnics on
the grounds outside.
Despite the hot weather and the possibility of rain, fans remained patient and
good-natured, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Malaysia Cup Final. It was
a night that would be remembered by Pahang football fans for years to come. |
