KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Selangor Selection lifted the Sultan of Selangor’s Cup (TSSC) for the fourth consecutive edition after defeating Singapore Selection 2-1 at Stadium Merdeka here tonight.
The victory saw the Red Giants extend their record to 12 titles since the TSSC was first introduced in 2001.
The first half saw both teams evenly matched, exchanging attacks.
Selangor’s opening goal came in the 20th minute through a brilliant cross by Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim, which was met by Harry Danish, beating goalkeeper Hassan Abdullah Sunny.
Selangor continued to launch dangerous attacks, but Christophe Gamel’s men were denied before Singapore equalised through Takumi Yokohata in the 40th minute.
Singapore looked more aggressive in the second half, but Selangor’s defence was up to the challenge.
The Red Giants eventually regained the lead through substitute Chrigor Moraes, who converted a penalty in injury time to seal the championship.
Meanwhile, Selangor Veterans failed to defend their title after losing 3-4 to Singapore in a penalty shootout following a goalless draw.
The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, officiated the event and presented the trophy to the winners.
