Notes edit

  1. ^ a b Originally the matches, Kelantan United vs Negeri Sembilan which was supposed to be held on 30 October, and Kelantan United vs Melaka United on 2 November were moved to new date due to Kelantan United and Kelantan FC sharing the same venue, Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium, and some of their matches are to be held on the same date. So, the matches Kelantan United vs Negeri Sembilan was moved to 1 October and Kelantan United vs Melaka United on 1 November.[31]
  2. ^ a b c d Negeri Sembilan were unable to play the final four matches of the group stage due to several team members and officials testing positive for COVID-19. They were considered to have withdrawn from the competition, and the last four remaining matches played by them shall be considered "awarded" a 3–0 win to the opposing team, based on Malaysian Football League's rule book.[34][35]
  3. ^ a b c d The original Matchday 5 matches: Negeri Sembilan vs Kelantan United and Melaka United vs Kedah Darul Aman, and the Matchday 6 matches: Kelantan United vs Kedah Darul Aman and Negeri Sembilan vs Melaka, were switched around so matches from Matchday 5 were moved to Matchday 6 and Matchday 6 to Matchday 5 to avoid the clash of Kelantan United and Kelantan FC venues, where they share the same stadium as their venue for Matchday 6 .[31]
