Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) rediscovered their winning rhythm with a commanding 2-0 victory over PDRM FC in the Super League clash at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi, earlier this evening.
The result extended NSFC’s impressive home record against PDRM, following their previous 5-0 win over the same opponents at the Paroi fortress.
After last week’s tough 0-4 defeat to Selangor FC in the FA Cup quarterfinal first leg, head coach Nidzam Jamil fielded a strong lineup determined to bounce back — led by the energetic young striker Luqman Hakim Shamsudin spearheading the attack.
Both teams began brightly, trading attacks in a balanced opening half. Negeri Sembilan came close in the 22nd minute when A. Selvan’s close-range effort was denied by PDRM goalkeeper Mohd Ifwat Akmal Chek Kassim. Minutes later, Luqman’s strike drifted just wide, while Jovan Motika’s solo run was stopped despite rounding the keeper in the 33rd minute.
The second half saw a revitalized Negeri Sembilan take control. Their persistence paid off in the 51st minute when Joseph Esso broke the deadlock, calmly finishing a clever pass from Luqman to make it 1-0.
Buoyed by the opener, the home side pressed harder — and just six minutes later, the Paroi crowd erupted once again as Motika found the back of the net with a stunning free kick from 25 meters, sealing a 2-0 lead for the Jangs.
Despite PDRM’s late efforts to close the gap, the Negeri Sembilan defense stood firm to maintain a clean sheet.
As the final whistle blew, more than 6,000 loyal fans at STAR Paroi celebrated a well-deserved win — one that reignited confidence and momentum in Negeri Sembilan’s Super League campaign.
