Perak handed Kedah their second straight 2018 unifi Malaysian Super League defeat, while Selangor ran out 4-1 winners against Melaka United on Wednesday.
The Bos Gaurus grabbed a 3-1 win in a hotly contested Northern derby at the Darul Aman Stadium, being aided by Liridon Krasniqi's red card with less than 10 minutes left in the match.
After taking the lead in the first half thanks to a long-range effort from Gilmar da Silva, Perak were pegged back in the 79th minute.
Sandro da Silva equalised for the home side from the penalty spot with Robert Cornthwaite being penalised for bringing down Akhyar Rashid.
Just when it seemed that the Red Eagles could be pulling off a comeback win, Krasniqi was sent off for lashing out at a Perak player during Kedah's set-piece in the 82nd minute.
With an extra player on the pitch, Cornthwaite redeemed himself with a goal in the 87th minute before Nazirul Naim Che Hashim also got on the scoresheet in injury time to seal the win for Mehmet Durakovic's side.
Joining Kedah with two losses from two matches were Kuala Lumpur, who lost 2-0 in Negeri Sembilan with Nicolas Velez striking twice in the first half at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium.
In the 11th minute, goalkeeper Kamarul Effandi Abdul Rahim misjudged a long ball, allowing the Argentine to capitalise on his error and put the back into an unguarded net for his first goal.
20 minutes later, Velez side-footed a low cross for his and Negeri's second of the night and secured the victory.
To rub salt into the wound of the City Boys, who are now bottom of the table, arch-rivals Selangor regained the top spot from Johor Darul Ta'zim after their win over Melaka at the KLFA Stadium.
Rufino Segovia del Burgo, who had a brace in the opening gameweek, grabbed another despite missing a penalty.
Syahmi Safari scored the other two goals, while Melaka netted a consolation through Tiago Gomes' well-taken free-kick.
In another Super League match in Klang Valley, PKNS captan Safee Sali led by example as he headed in a last-minute winner to defeat Pahang 1-0.
