Marcote laid the blame on individual mistakes with defenders Khairul Helmi Johari and Alvaro Silva and goalkeeper Ifwat Akmal Chek Kassim culpable for KL's four goals. "We were the better team, creating many chances but failed to take them," said Marcote after Kedah's third defeat in five Super League matches. The tone was set in the third minute when Khairul Helmi was robbed of the ball by Zaquan Adha Radzak to open the scoring before Silva was also dispossessed by Zaquan who was then fouled by Khairul Helmi to concede a penalty. "He (Khairul Helmi) failed but in football mistakes can happen," said Marcote. "We have to watch the game again and analyse the performance of all the players, not just Khairul Helmi."
