PENANG - The Super League match between Penang and Kedah Darul Aman at the Stadium Bandaraya here was marred by fighting between the two groups of supporters after the game concluded last night.

The incident occurred outside the stadium and was believed to have been triggered by provocation between the two sides before the pushing and shoving incident took place.

Tensions escalated as both groups began to act aggressively, engaging in kicking and shoving actions that led to a brawl near the Kedah supporters' bus parking area.

In a viral video lasting one minute and 42 seconds, a group dressed in all black, believed to be Penang supporters, can be seen engaging in a provocative speech before the fight broke out with the opposing team's supporters.

In the 20th match of the Super League held last night, the home team suffered a 1-2 defeat to their neighbouring team.

Fadzrul Danel made the first goal for Kedah in the 7th minute, before Lebanon player Soony Saad equalised the mark in the 32nd minute.

A long-range shot from outside the penalty box by Moses Atede in the 96th minute added to the woes of Penang FC and secured victory for the Kedah team.
