PKNS ended Negri Sembilan's perfect record in the Malaysia Cup after producing a shock 2-0 win in Paroi to boost their own quarter-final hopes yesterday.
With FA Cup winners Terengganu also winning, all three teams are level on six points to leave Group B delicately poised with two rounds remaining.
Fauzan Dzulkfili stunned Negri four minutes after half-time before Norshisham Hassan made it 2-0 10 minutes later to avenge a 1-0 home defeat to Negri in the opening match.

Terengganu took advantage of Negri's slip-up with a 1-0 win over Sime Darby in Kuala Terengganu.
The home dominated proceedings in the first half as Terengganu, who had Ismail Faruqi Ashari and Joseph Kalang Tie cleared to play after picking up knocks in the 1-0 defeat to Negri Sembilan on Tuesday, took their time to breach the PKNS defence.
Ashaari Samsudin was quick to profit from chaos in the PKNS penalty box to score in the 34th minute.

Selangor's mission for a 33rd Malaysia Cup title remains in the balance after Kuala Terengganu T-Team scored twice in the last 10 minutes to escape with a 2-1 win from the Shah Alam Stadium.
Norfarhan Mohammad scored in the 81st minute with a header to draw T-Team level before Zairo Anuar Zailani rammed home the winner six minutes later with a trademark rocket free-kick as T-Team went top of Group D with nine points.
Captain Amri Yahyah had put Selangor in the lead in the 15th minute with a thundering grounder for his first goal of the Malaysia Cup.
KL dropped to second in the group when they were held 0-0 by Police, who claimed their first point of the competition, in Selayang although the city side increased their lead on Selangor to four points.
Fazrul Hazli Kadri was in the thick of action as he scored once, won a penalty and was then sent off in Perak's 2-1 win over Sabah in a Group A match in Ipoh.
His fourth-minute goal for Perak was cancelled three minutes later by Sabah's Shahrul Azhar Ture but Fazrul then won a penalty in first-half stoppage time which was converted by Failee Ghazli before ending his night early with a red card in the 69th minute.
Kedah kept their quarter-final hopes alive when Baddrol Bakhtiar scored a penalty five minutes from the end to earn 10-man Kedah a 3-3 draw with Johor in Alor Star.
After Khyril Muhymeen Zambri put Kedah ahead in the 30th minute, V. Thirumurugan was sent off eight minutes into the second half before Johor hit back through Noraslan Makhtar (65th) and Fauzi Nan's own goal (70th) to lead 2-1.
Khyril equalised in the 72nd minute only for Johor to regain the lead two minutes later Ashadi Yusoff before Baddrol ensured a share of the spoils with his spot-kick.
