Selangor were leading 2-0 up comfortably in the first half courtesy from Amri Yahyah 's sublime goal in the 3rd minute and a simple tap-in in 20th minute. It seems to be another easy task for Irfan Bakti to seal another victory as the home side begin to slow down the tempo of the game, which might have cost them severely. Pahang narrow down the goal difference to one as Fauzi Roslan slotted in a simple header in 24th minute.
The match were not short of controversy though, as Pahang were awarded a penalty kick while the replay suggested that only a slight touch between the two player involved. Razman Roslan did not have any troubled to score from the spot-kick as he send Sharbinee Allawee in the wrong way to make it 2-2. Another controversy ensued, this time from Selangor striker, Francis Forkey Doe where he had been pushed down by Pahang's defender and claimed for a penalty in which replay shows Forkey Doe's claim is correct. Instead, the referee brandished him a yellow card for diving in the penalty area.
Both sets of team worked hard to find the winner, but just couldn't do so, as the play were frequently stopped by a series of fouls that may potentially damage their chance to score. With the game nearing at the end, Irfan Bakti brought in substitute former Kelantan striker Ramzul Zahini Adenan and within minutes he scored from the cross that quickly met his head into the back of the net passed Nasril Nourdin in the 80th minute. Pahang tried everything they could to equalise late in the game but the scoreline standstill until the final whistle. Pahang still stay top of the table despite the defeat while Selangor moved up to second following the win. Pahang will welcome neighbours Terengganu at Kuantan while Selangor will visit local rivals Perak in January 22nd.
