Kelantan Red Warriors FC handed Seoul Phoenix FC a crushing 6-0 defeat in a Liga A1 Semi-Pro 2025/26 clash played at Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV last night, with Emmanuel Mbarga etching his name in the club’s history books.
The Cameroonian striker recorded KRWFC’s first-ever hat-trick in the league, scoring three goals and also contributing to a fourth as the Red Warriors climbed to third in the standings for the first time this season.
Historic Hat-Trick Achieved
Emmanuel Mbarga opened his account with the second goal of the match before halftime, then calmly converted a penalty just minutes after the restart. With 14 minutes of normal time remaining, he completed his treble with a clinical finish from a beautifully crafted pass by Faiz Nasir, sparking celebrations among nearly 700 home supporters.
The 6-0 victory not only marked Mbarga’s first hat-trick in KRWFC colours, but also the first hat-trick ever scored by a Kelantan Red Warriors player in the A1 Semi-Pro League era.
Attacker in Unstoppable Form
Mbarga’s three goals in this match took his tally to 19 in 17 league appearances, putting him at the top of the 2025/26 A1 Semi-Pro scoring charts. The 27‑year‑old forward has now been directly involved in 24 of the Red Warriors’ 41 goals this season, with 19 goals and 5 assists to his name.
His consistency and clinical finishing continue to be the central pillar of KRWFC’s attacking threat as they push for a strong finish in the second half of the season.
Red Warriors Rise to Third
The comprehensive win over Seoul Phoenix FC lifted Kelantan Red Warriors FC to third place in the A1 Semi-Pro League table, marking a significant milestone in their campaign. The result cements Irfan Bakti’s side as genuine title contenders and sets a strong platform as they prepare for crucial fixtures in the coming weeks.
