Lions XII crowned champions of Malaysia Super League 2013

Lions XII celebrates their first ever MSL 2013 title
By thrashing the hapless Felda United, the Singaporean side clinched the league title for the first time ever since the inception of 2004 and since departing from Malaysian football 20 years ago. 

An OWN GOAL by Azrul Ahmad and goals from Shahril Ishak,  Fazrul Nawaz and Shafiq Ghani sealed the title while Felda United were on the brink of relegation with one game remaining.



Man of the Match: Shahril Ishak

Next game will be the final league match of the season before heading to the fasting month, with the newly crowned champions Lions XII will travel to Kota Bharu to contest the highly anticipated clash with the FA Cup winner Kelantan FA whilst Felda United at home need a win against the already relegated Negeri Sembilan in order to stay in the top-flight but still need a bit of luck from Terengganu FA, hoping they will beat T-Team with only two points separate between them. 

All final matches will kick-off on Saturday, July 6.
