Former champions Negri Sembilan and FA Cup winners Terengganu qualified from Group B after they won their respective matches.
Negri defeated Sime Darby FC 2-1 at the Selayang Stadium while national player Ismail Faruqi scored the winner in Terengganu's 1-0 win over Premier League champions PKNS at the MBPJ Stadium.
In Group C, Kelantan and Felda United were not impressive yesterday but it was enough for them to qualify for the last eight.
Kelantan were held 1-1 by Johor FC with both goals coming in the opening minutes of the match in Pasir Gudang.
Johor FC scored first through Mohd Akmal Noor with a well-executed lob in the second minute before Azamuddin Akil's effort levelled proceedings after eight minutes.
Sarawak upset Felda United 1-0 through a wonderful goal from Bobby Gonzales in the 15th minute but the result had no bearing as the club side moved into the quarter-finals.
T-Team earned their spot with a tough 1-1 draw with Kuala Lumpur in a Group D match.
Indra Putra Mahayuddin gave T-Team the lead with a spectacular strike in the 27th minute but KL substitute Hazwan Bakri levelled proceedings in the 46th minute.
Selangor coach P. Maniam turned on his magic in his first match in charge by guiding his team to an impressive 4-1 victory over Police in Paroi.
Selangor scorers were captain Amri Yahyah (31st), Safiq Rahim (45th), Amirulhadi Zainal (71st) and Rudie Ramli (90th).
Police replied through Fauzi Abd Majid in the 62nd minute.
