ATM avenged Selangor in a 2-0 victory

After their controversial exit against Selangor in the FA Cup first round, ATM managed to get their revenge in Malaysia Super League match at home with a goal from Bruno Martelotto, and a spot kick from Marlon Alex James saw ATM climb to the top of the table for the first time

Selangor were expected to continue their winning streak but were surprisingly struggled against ATM away at Paroi. Bruno Martelotto give an early lead to the home side when a scintillating run and dribble from Marlon Alex James past the defender found Bruno's feet in which he didn't waste time to fired to the top of the net in the 16th minute. There could be more goals for the home side as Selangor were looking as good as dead in the final third but they were lucky enough to have in-form goalkeeper Norazlan Razali producing a lot of parries and saves from conceding much more goals. Marlon Alex James round off the victory with a penalty kick conceded by Selangor defender late in the game while Raimi sending off didn't help the away side either from finding themselves in the end of defeat. Selangor will meet local rivals PKNS at home on February 22nd, this Friday while the current leaders ATM will travel to East Coast in which they will contested the struggling side Terengganu on February 23rd, this Saturday.
