Selangor FC climbed to second place in the Super League standings after securing a 1–0 victory over Negeri Sembilan FCin their clash at Stadium Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya earlier today.

The win marked another positive step for newly appointed head coach Kim Pan Gon, who has now recorded two wins from his first two matches in charge.

The result saw Selangor move up to 31 points, opening a two-point gap over third-placed KL City FC (29 points) and Kuching City FC (28 points), both of whom suffered defeats in their respective fixtures.

Selangor began the match aggressively, testing the NSFC defence as early as the second minute through a strike by Chrigor Moraes, which was well saved by NSFC goalkeeper Azri Ab Ghani.

The hosts continued to dominate possession, frequently attacking down the flanks and delivering crosses into the NSFC penalty area. Several promising moves created danger, but a lack of finishing quality and off-target attempts prevented Selangor from breaking the deadlock in the first half.

After the interval, Selangor maintained control, and the NSFC defence was finally breached in the 60th minute when Nooa Laine powered home a header to give the hosts a 1–0 lead.

NSFC came close to an equaliser in the 86th minute following a swift counter-attack that saw Anuar Ceesay unleash a shot that deflected off a Selangor defender. However, Selangor goalkeeper Kalamullah Al-Hafiz Mat Rowi reacted quickly to gather the rebound.

Selangor had opportunities to extend their advantage late on, but Moraes missed from close range before Faisal Halimfired over the bar.

In the end, the solitary goal was enough to seal Selangor FC’s 10th league win of the season, while NSFC were left to reflect on a resilient but ultimately narrow defeat away from home.
