Kuching City FC shared the points with Hong Kong's Kitchee SC after a 1–1 draw at Stadium Taha Ariffin on October 15. Their next reported ACL2 assignment is away to Gangwon FC in South Korea on October 29. The Thursday-night Group H game was level again before the quarter-hour mark. A Kitchee own goal put Kuching ahead in the second minute; the visitors equalised in the 14th, and neither side added to the score. The result gives local supporters a point from the completed home fixture, with an overseas trip next on the calendar. DayakDaily reported the October 29 Gangwon fixture but did not give its kick-off time or viewing arrangements. Those details will matter for fans following from Kuching, rather than the admission arrangements for the Kitchee game.

Kuching City FC may have fallen 2-0 to Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in the Malaysia Cup final last Saturday night — but their run to Bukit Jalil is being celebrated as the club's greatest achievement to date. Under head coach Aidil Sharin Sahak, the Cats stunned Malaysian football by reaching the final for the first time ever. Their campaign was built on grit: Round of 16: Beat Penang FC 2-1 on aggregate after losing the first leg away Quarter-finals: Dominated DPMM FC 6-2 on aggregate Semi-finals: Edged Selangor FC 2-1, winning the home leg 1-0 They played 7 matches, won 4, drew 1, lost 2 — scoring 10 goals and conceding just 6. They won all three home matches at the State Stadium. Beyond the Malaysia Cup, their Super League performance also secured qualification for next season's AFC Champions League Two as Malaysia's No.2 — another historic first for the club. More than 50,000 supporters packed the National Stadium, including Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and several state and federal ministers. JDT's goals came from Marcos Guilherme (80') and Arif Aiman Hanapi (90'). Kuching City had a golden chance from the penalty spot in the 60th minute but couldn't convert.
