Nidzam Jamil Praises Collective Effort as Negeri Sembilan FC Advance to Malaysia Cup Quarter-Finals

Negeri Sembilan FC Head Coach Nidzam Jamil commended his players’ discipline, resilience, and collective commitment after guiding the team into the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Cup following the second-leg Round of 16 clash against Imigresen FC at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman on 25 January.

Speaking during the post-match press conference for the Malaysia Cup 2025–26 Round of 16 (Second Leg), Nidzam described the contest as a true cup battle, marked by intensity, tactical adjustments, and mental toughness from both sides.

“It was an open game. In the first half, there were many transitions, and in the second half, Imigresen became more direct and more physical after introducing fresh players. We had to compete and match their intensity,” said Nidzam.

He highlighted the team’s defensive organisation, particularly in the final 20 minutes, as a decisive factor in securing qualification. Imigresen FC arrived in strong attacking form, having scored 17 goals in their previous 10 matches, underlining the scale of the challenge faced by Negeri Sembilan FC.

“Our organisation, especially when defending late in the game, was very good. Against a team like Imigresen, that discipline is extremely important,” he added.

Nidzam also explained that certain late tactical decisions involved calculated risks, including fielding players who were still recovering from minor knocks. Despite the risk, he felt the decisions were necessary in the context of knockout football.

“This is a cup game. The most important thing is qualification. Sometimes you need to take a gamble, and tonight it paid off,” he said.

Addressing squad selection, Nidzam noted that several players were unavailable due to injuries and foreign player quota limitations. However, he reiterated that the team’s progress was built on squad depth and collective responsibility rather than individual reliance.

One of the notable moments from the match was the introduction of 22-year-old Afiq Fitri, who made his first appearance of the season in a high-pressure situation. Coming on in the final stages, Afiq showed maturity beyond his years, winning second balls and contributing defensively.

“He trained very hard every day. It’s not easy to come into a tight game during the last 10 minutes and handle that pressure. I’m very happy with his commitment and performance,” Nidzam said.

Looking ahead to the quarter-finals, Nidzam acknowledged that Negeri Sembilan FC will face one of the strongest teams in Malaysian football. Nevertheless, he embraced the underdog status and the unpredictability that defines the Malaysia Cup.

“We are still underdogs. But this is cup football — anything can happen. With hard work, commitment, and the support of our fans, we believe we can compete,” he concluded.

Negeri Sembilan FC now advance to the last eight of the Malaysia Cup with renewed confidence, built on teamwork, discipline, and belief in the strength of the entire squad.

Luqman Hakim Sends Negeri Sembilan into Malaysia Cup Quarter-Finals

Negeri Sembilan FC were pushed to their limits before sealing a narrow 1–0 aggregate victory over Imigresen FC to confirm their place in the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals.

After a goalless draw in the first leg, the Round of 16 return fixture at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman saw the hosts take control, with Luqman Hakim Shamsudin emerging as the match-winner.

Head coach Nidzam Jamil named a strong attacking line-up, featuring Luqman Hakim alongside A. Selvan, Jovan Motika and Joseph Esso, as Negeri Sembilan looked to impose themselves early.

Despite an entertaining contest from both sides, the first half ended scoreless—highlighted by a missed penalty from import midfielder Takumi Sasaki that denied the home side a breakthrough before the interval.

Negeri Sembilan returned with renewed intensity after the break, with slick combination play repeatedly testing the Imigresen FC defence. Their persistence finally paid off in the 61st minute when Luqman Hakim calmly converted to ignite celebrations among the home supporters.

Imigresen FC briefly thought they had equalised moments later, but the goal was ruled out after Fayadh Zulkifli Amin was adjudged to be in an offside position. The visitors continued to press in search of a response, yet disciplined defending and wayward finishing ensured the hosts protected their slender lead until the final whistle.

In the quarter-finals, Negeri Sembilan will face Selangor FC, who advanced after recording a commanding 5–1 aggregate win over Kelantan The Real Warriors FC.

Nidzam Jamil Praises Discipline and Defensive Growth After Goalless Draw in Penang

Nidzam Jamil expressed satisfaction with Negeri Sembilan FC’s defensive organisation and game management after holding Imigresen FC to a 0–0 draw in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash in the Piala Malaysia 2025–26.

The encounter, played at Stadium Negeri Pulau Pinang on 17 January, saw Negeri Sembilan FC adopt a measured and disciplined approach away from home against a dangerous Imigresen FC side, prioritising structure and game control amid a demanding run of fixtures.

Speaking after the match, Nidzam stressed the importance of understanding the dynamics of two-legged cup competitions, referencing previous lessons where opportunities at home were not fully maximised. This time, the emphasis was clear: remain compact away from home and set the stage for a decisive second leg in Seremban.

“This is a cup competition. You must know how to manage the first game away and the second game at home,” said Nidzam. “We respected Imigresen FC and their attacking threats. They have players who can hurt you if you lose focus. From that perspective, a goalless draw is a fair and positive result.”

The head coach also highlighted the physical demands faced by his squad, revealing that five to six changes were made to the starting line-up due to a congested schedule of three matches in seven days. Fatigue played a key role in the tactical approach, with Negeri Sembilan opting to sit in a compact mid-block rather than applying constant high pressure.

Despite the absence of goals, Nidzam pointed to several encouraging signs. Negeri Sembilan created chances, hit the woodwork twice, and limited Imigresen FC’s opportunities, with goalkeeper Aqil producing a composed performance to secure a valuable clean sheet.

“We didn’t concede, and that’s something important,” he said. “Our defensive shape was good. This is also one of the few matches where Imigresen didn’t score, and that shows our discipline.”

Nidzam also praised the performances of squad players, singling out Amirul Adli for his contribution, as well as Mio Tsuneyasu, who was handed a starting role. He emphasised the importance of rotation and squad depth during a physically demanding period, while acknowledging that some players were carrying heavy workloads following recent league fixtures.

Addressing questions over the team’s attacking output, Nidzam remained confident that the goals will return, stressing that attacking success is a collective responsibility rather than solely on the strikers.

“Attack as a team, defend as a team. We’ve scored more than 20 goals in the league,” he explained. “Just because we didn’t score in the last few games doesn’t mean we are weak. What’s important is that defensively, we are improving.”

He concluded by reaffirming his focus on player recovery, injury assessments, and preparation for the second leg, where Negeri Sembilan FC will look to capitalise on home advantage and progress to the next round.

Goalless Draw Leaves Malaysia Cup Tie Wide Open

Negeri Sembilan FC were held to a 0–0 draw by Imigresen FC in the first-leg encounter of the Malaysia Cup at Stadium Negeri Pulau Pinang earlier today.

Nicknamed The Jangs, Negeri Sembilan entered the match as favourites and asserted control from the opening whistle. The visitors dominated possession and created a series of attacking moves through Takumi Sasaki, Khuzaimi Piee, Joseph Esso and Mio Tsuneyasu, but were unable to find a way past the disciplined home defence.

Imigresen nearly stunned the visitors when Wilmar Jordan Gil found the back of the net in the 38th minute. However, celebrations were cut short after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review ruled the effort out for offside.

The hosts came close again after the break, with Fadzrul Danel Nizam testing Negeri Sembilan goalkeeper Muhammad Aqil Abd Razak in the 63rd minute. Aqil reacted superbly to push the low drive away and keep his side level.

Negeri Sembilan responded by raising the tempo in the final 20 minutes, introducing substitutes N. Javabilaarivin and Oday Kharoub in search of a breakthrough. Despite sustained pressure, the decisive goal remained elusive.

Imigresen also endured moments of misfortune, with Elvis Kamsoba seeing his boot come off during a goal attempt, while Eduardo Sosa was forced off after reportedly suffering a rib injury.

The scoreline remained unchanged until the final whistle, leaving the tie finely balanced ahead of the return leg at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman on 25 January.

Match Analysis: Imigresen FC 1–1 Negeri Sembilan FC

Match Summary

  • Final Score: Imigresen FC 1–1 Negeri Sembilan FC
  • Venue: Imigresen FC (home)
  • Context: Both sides left frustrated. Negeri Sembilan could not make their chances count, while Imigresen squandered a golden opportunity to claim full points at home.

Negeri Sembilan FC Analysis

Formation & Tactics

  • Lined up with a back four, shifting into a back three in possession.
  • Fullbacks:
    • Harith Samsuri held a deeper role on the left, supporting defensively.
    • Ariff Ar-Rasyid pushed higher on the right to add width in attack.
  • Midfield anchor: Zahril Azri returned to the starting XI, protecting the backline.

Strengths

  • Alex Agyarkwa: Controlled tempo and distribution, dictating midfield play.
  • Zahril Azri: Outstanding as a defensive midfielder — initiated the move for Negeri Sembilan’s goal.
  • Joseph Esso: Adapted his role by dropping deep into zone 14, linking play instead of being a pure target man.
  • Selvan: One of the most effective attackers, providing an assist.
  • Jovan Motika: Scored the equalizer but still lacked confidence in 1v1 duels.

Weaknesses

  • Defensive fragility: Backline too easily exposed on transitions.
  • Sloppy turnovers: Imigresen’s goal came from a midfield mistake under pressure.
  • Takumi Sasaki: Below-par outing, failed to influence the game, leading to an early substitution.
  • Luqman Hakim (debut): Energetic but raw — struggled with dribbles, ball control, and decision-making.

Key Takeaway

Negeri Sembilan are showing clearer attacking identity but remain undermined by defensive lapses and transition errors. Goalkeeper Azri Ghani impressed again with composure and distribution, though he was often left exposed.

Imigresen FC Analysis

Performance

  • Delivered one of their stronger league displays this season but couldn’t capitalize on home advantage.
  • Best chance: Fayadh Zulkifli missed a wide-open goal — a huge let-off for Negeri Sembilan.

Players

  • Wilmar (striker): Scored, but overall ineffective; failed to fully utilize his physicality in duels.
  • Azfar Fikri & José Sosa: Reliable performers, added structure and creativity.
  • Fayadh Zulkifli: Dangerous but wasteful, especially with his glaring miss.

Weaknesses

  • Heavy reliance on isolated moments rather than sustained attacking patterns.
  • Despite quality imports, lacked consistency and killer instinct in front of goal.

Match Conditions

  • Pitch: Poor surface, with awkward bounces that disrupted fluid play for both teams.

Overall Analysis

  • Negeri Sembilan: More fluid in midfield thanks to Agyarkwa and Zahril, but defensive holes remain a recurring issue.
  • Imigresen: Played well enough to win but wastefulness cost them dearly.
  • Result: Fair on balance, but frustrating for both sides — Negeri Sembilan remain in transition under coach Nidzam Jamil, while Imigresen must learn to turn performances into points.

Imigresen FC 1–1 Negeri Sembilan FC: Points Shared in Batu Kawan

Imigresen FC and Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) shared the spoils after an intense Malaysia Super League encounter ended 1–1 at the Negeri Pulau Pinang Stadium in Batu Kawan earlier this evening.

Early Chances for Both Sides

NSFC started aggressively, with striker Jovan Motika nearly breaking the deadlock in the 4th minute after outmuscling home captain Rizal Ghazali, only for his powerful shot to sail over the bar.

The hosts responded swiftly as Keron Ornchaiyaphum came close twice — first with a free-kick that went narrowly wide in the 10th minute, and again four minutes later when his attempt was blocked by defender Alex Agyarkwa.

Imigresen Strike First

In the 26th minute, Imigresen took the lead through Wilmar Jordan, who calmly slotted home after a slick build-up involving Halim Saari and Eduardo Sosa.

NSFC pushed hard for a reply and nearly equalised in the 33rd minute via a Takumi Sasaki free-kick, but his weak effort was easily collected by goalkeeper Farhan Majid.

The breakthrough came in first-half stoppage time when Motika coolly converted an assist from A. Selvan, making it 1–1 heading into the break.

Tense Second Half

The Jangs kept up the pressure after the restart, earning a free-kick in the 51st minute, but Agyarkwa’s finishing touch failed to trouble the keeper.

Imigresen’s best chance of the half arrived in the 74th minute when Elvis Kamsoba’s cross found substitute Fayyadh Ghazali, but the forward miscontrolled under pressure, wasting the opportunity.

The final 10 minutes saw tempers flare with a few heated exchanges, but neither side could find a winner as the match ended in a draw.

Final Score

Imigresen FC 1–1 Negeri Sembilan FC

⚽ Wilmar Jordan (26’)
⚽ Jovan Motika (45+1’)
