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

Selangor 2-0 Kelantan
Double header from Forkey Doe and Ramez Dayoub in the first half were enough to secure The Red Giants a rare win against their fierce rivals Kelantan
This match saw Ramzul Zahini Adenan meet his former club for the first time since leaving the club last December while Amri Yahyah is unavailable due to suspension. Kelantan captain Piya is a doubtful for the clash due to an illness but may still feature at any point during the match.
Irfan Bakti retained the more traditional 4-4-2 formation while Bojan Hodak bizarrely using the unusual 3-5-2 formation.
Selangor perhaps using the height as an advantage as Kelantan struggles to put them away. Forkey Doe put an early lead for the home side with a fine header in 12th minute. Ramez Dayoub doubled the lead with a stunning header in the 26th minute and rounded off their winning display.
Kelantan wanted to turn things around by bringing in Keita Mandjou and Piya in the second half but it was all too late for the visitor as The Red Warriors defence kept losing guard on Selangor attacker while losing possession easily in the midfield and look hapless in terms of attacking ability.
Selangor only need to continue their impressive form and if things goes their way, there always every possibilities that they might end up at the top of the table when the season ends. Kelantan capped another poor display and getting even worse with a costly error by Bojan Hodak to use unfamiliar tactics against a strong side like Selangor. Bojan may need to realise that they must do something more important than just for waiting their new import to replace Keita Mandjou.
