Ten men Selangor demolished mega-rich Johor DT

Selangor proved money can't buy success as they easily overcome The Southern Tiger despite playing with 10 men to secure one of the biggest result this season

The Red Giants proved too strong for the visitors as they crushed title rivals Johor DT 4-1 in an exciting encounter at Shah Alam Stadium.

Selangor lining up Peter Chrappan in the starting eleven as a replacement for the banned Ramez Dayoub, released by The Red Giants last week while Adib Abdul Latif get the nod ahead of captain Asrarudin Putra.

Johor DT lining up almost an unchanged line-up with Muslim Ahmad sitting on the bench this time and captain Safiq Rahim back in the starting eleven after injury absence.

Selangor have an early lead through S. Kunanlan with a fluke goal in the 4th minute.

The home side doubled their lead this time through Francis Forkey Doe who scored in a close range finish with Johor DT goalkeeper Zamir Selamat failed to hold the ball that went straight into the net.

With Johor DT falling behind again with two goals, they should have think to tighten the defence more or change the tactical approach during half-time interval but Fandi Ahmad thought otherwise when he decided to change current keeper Zamir Selamat with sub keeper Al-Hafiz Hamzah, believed that both conceded goals was at Zamir's fault.

It is as if similar script in the first half continued in the second half as Johor DT did not do enough to creates chances and threaten their opposition while the home side looked as lively as ever. It was not until ten minutes after the restart that new Selangor centre-back Peter Chrappan collected a second yellow card as he fouled Johor DT striker Norshahrul Idlan Talaha at the edge of the penalty box.

It should be a huge advantage for the away side when Selangor have one man down, but things just didn't went their way.

Instead, Selangor keep marching on, and they did so in 66th minute when the unlikeliest goalscorer Mahalli Jasuli dribbled past Johor DT's defence before releasing the shot to the back of the net. It was superb effort and Mahalli would be delighted with his playing display.

The home side were not yet satisfied as they got another goal in the 69th minute courtesy from a delightful pass from Forkey Doe who finds an unmarked Amri Yahyah who slotted the ball easily to the bottom right corner of the net to make it 4-0.

Norshahrul Idlan Talaha gave Johor DT the only consolation goal in the 75th minute by dribbling past Selangor defender before unleashing the ball past Norazlan Razali.

Following the win over Johor DT, Selangor were up to second place, tied on 18 points with league leaders ATM only separated by goal difference.

Despite a heavy defeat, Johor DT still very much close with league leaders ATM, with only two points separated them but The Southern Tiger will have to content with fourth place, behind Lions XII, Selangor and ATM.

Man of the Match: Mahalli Jasuli

Super-sub Ramzul end Pahang winning streak

Dollah Salleh's master-plan to stage another comeback win came unstuck when a quick header from super-sub Ramzul Zahini Adenan condemned Pahang to the first defeat of the season

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.
