This event: https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2598423-perak-vs-kuala-lumpur-city has been added to the English FA Cup erroneously - i am not sure how to correct it as the real Malaysian FA Cup is not in the system.

It's an annoying bug, basically teams get reversed by the provider, but the system can't fully handle it, then the backup can't find the fixture and as a precaution adds it again, but it just goes directly to 'FA Cup', I've seen it happen to teams from Malaysia, China, and South Korea, all of which have cup competitions called 'FA Cup'.

I've deleted the event, and reversed the teams in the original fixture so it shouldn't get re-added.

I looked a bit deeper into it and it looks like the Malaysia FA Cup hadn't imported and the backup was kicking in.

I've now synced up those fixtures so they've got a proper place to go and the backup shouldn't kick in any more for it.

Thanks for reporting.

I am seeing this Malaysian Cup match coming through the Live Scores API with the league ID as the English FA Cup - is this related to the previous issue we were seeing with these matches?

From everything I can see that shouldn't be happening.

@Zag will have to investigate it further.

Lots of strange goings on recently.
