The Red Giants went into the international break having suffered a devastating 4:0 home defeat at the hands of table leaders Johor Darul Ta'zim FC in a match where hope appeared to be glimmering before their eyes after holding them to a scoreless draw in the first half, but their opponents' daring tenacity in the second half meant that those hopes were completely dashed.
However, the international break provided them with ample time to recover from that loss, and with the competition coming to an end, they returned to their domestic league obligations in fashionable style, rebounding with a 3:1 victory on the road against Kuala Lumpur City FC.
There's no denying that they've etched their names into the book of consistency in the last six matches, with only one defeat and four wins and a draw to amass 13 points, a commendable performance they'll want to replicate throughout the season.
They are presently in fourth place with 13 points, while their bid to finish first is hampered by a five-point deficit.

Negeri Sembilan FC's 7:0 thrashing at home by Johor Darul Ta'zim FC in the third round of the Super League took its toll, albeit a positive one, as they bounced back with a 2:1 win at home against Terengganu FC before the international break to rekindle the broken confidence.
They didn't stop there, as they were out to make another statement in their most recent home encounter against Kelantan FA, securing three points in a thrilling 4:2 victory.
With 8 points from two draws, two wins, and a loss in their last five matches, there's no denying that they've maintained a solid form, but as things stand, their defense, if not monitored, could turn out to be their demise down the road, as they've conceded 11 goals in just five games.
They are presently in seventh place with 8 points, three points shy of fifth place, and have a one-point lead over Terengganu FC in eighth place.
