When the Panthers and the Rhinos locked horns in the first leg of the MFL Challenge Cup final at the City Stadium in George Town last week, no one drew first blood.
Both Penang and Sabah, who battled to a 1-1 stalemate, will enter the second leg at the Likas Stadium tomorrow on even ground.
Penang hope to taste glory again since the Panthers last won silverware in 2002, while for Sabah, the wait is even longer, the Rhinos haven't felt like cup winners since 2019.
Emphasising his team carry the hopes of many, Penang captain Rafael Vitor said: "It's about a city, an entire city that has been waiting for so long for this opportunity."
Penang will enter the second leg as the form team, boasting an unbeaten 15-game streak.
Head coach Wan Rohaimi Wan Ismail is keeping his fingers crossed that their injured key forward, Dylan Wenzel-Halls, who has contributed five goals in this tournament, will recover in time.
Sabah will be looking to the legendary "Likas Aura" to swing the return match their way.
Sabah head coach Juan Torres Garrido said they are feeling revitalised on home soil.
"The atmosphere in Kota Kinabalu is reaching a fever pitch, with a fan base whose current motto is uncompromising, we win or we die trying (mentality)," Garrido said.
