KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) — Selangor FC are now one step closer to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after defeating Malaysian University (MUFT) 3-1 at the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium today.
In the first leg match, the Red Giants took just four minutes to open the scoring through Muhammad Faisal Abdul Halim who cleverly netted home a pass from Muhmmad Aliff Izwan Yuslan.
Selangor import Alvin Fortes doubled the lead in the 24th minute before Faisal once again registered his name on the scoreboard at the end of the first half.
Entering the second half, Selangor continued to maintain the attacking momentum but failed to find any breaks following MUFT’s neat defence.
When Selangor seemed to be about to win the match without conceding, MUFT player Aiman Danial managed to defy the Red Giants when he scored his team’s only goal in the 82nd minute.
The Second leg of the Selangor vs MUFT match will be played on Sept 13 at the MBPJ Stadium in Petaling Jaya.
