Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) are refusing to take anything for granted ahead of the second-leg Round of 16 Malaysia Cup 2025/26 clash against Imigresen FC tomorrow night.
After playing out a goalless draw in the first leg at the Penang State Stadium, Batu Kawan last week, the tie remains finely poised, with both sides still very much in contention. The winner of the decisive encounter in Paroi will secure a place in the quarter-finals, where Selangor FC await.
NSFC captain Khuzaimi Piee confirmed that preparations within the Hobin Jang Hobin camp are progressing smoothly, with the squad fully focused on securing a home victory to continue their Malaysia Cup journey.
“Alhamdulillah, we can see that the team’s preparations are on the right track. I hope that before we face Imigresen this Sunday, all players will be fully ready,” said Khuzaimi.
Despite the advantage of playing in front of home supporters, Khuzaimi cautioned his teammates against underestimating the visitors. He acknowledged the quality within the Imigresen FC squad, which features several experienced players with Malaysia Super League pedigree.
“Imigresen FC are a good team. We know that many of their players have previously competed in the Super League. We cannot take them lightly. As players, we must give our best and compete fully,” he added.
When asked about key opposition threats, Khuzaimi stressed that the danger lies in Imigresen FC as a collective unit, underlining the need for every NSFC player to shoulder full responsibility on the pitch in the crucial encounter.
