KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah FC managed to deny Selangor FC from a full three points when they drew 1-1 at Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium in Kelana Jaya on Saturday night.
Selangor FC’s Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim delighted home fans with a curve shot from the left of the field to beat goalkeeper, Damien Lim, in the 31st minute.
But Sabah was quick to reply, with Fergus Tierney taking only two minutes to equalise with a goal after receiving a pass from defender Gabriel Peres.
A second half goal by Selangor FC’s Chrigor Moraes was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee, and while both sides did have several shots at goal, the match remained 1-1 till the final whistle.
Last night’s draw puts Selangor FC in a precarious position as they are now with 43 points, only one point ahead of third-placed Kuala Lumpur City FC, while Sabah remains in 10th place with 16 points.
Meanwhile, Imigresen FC and Penang FC had to settle for one point apiece when they fought to a goalless draw at Tuanku Syed Putra Stadium Kangar, Perlis tonight.
Imigresen remains seventh in the league with 22 points and Penang is ninth with 20 points. – BERNAMA
