SELANGOR OVERCOME ATM IN FA CUP

FA CUP: SELANGOR 2(3) - ATM 2(2)

Selangor qualified to the second round of FA Cup after beating ATM in the penalty shootout. The highly-contested match was witnessed by an amazing turnout at the Shah Alam Stadium. Irfan Bakti's men fought valiantly after a slow start and eventually emerged as winners.

ATM drew first blood in the 7th minute with Marlon Alex James' strike. Left winger Venice Ephie's cross was flicked on by Affize and an unmarked Marlon just needed a touch to put the ball to the back of the net. While the home side was still looking for the right tune, the visitors added a second goal. This time Affize's deflected shot went pass Norazlan after a swift counter attack by the Gladiators.

Selangor came out in the second half with a much better performance which led to a goal in the 53rd minute. Solihin made a good run down the right flank and had his cross found substitute Afiq Azmi's head, who made no mistake. Afiq Azmi found the net again four minutes later, this time he headed home from Asraruddin's curling cross to level the game at 2-2.

The equaliser took the game into extra-time. Selangor goalkeeper Norazlan was at his best as he kept out an ATM side that was piling on the pressure in the home defence.

Matters got out of hand in the second half of extra time when Adib Zainuddin was wrongly sent off by the referee. A fight almost ensued as both sets of players gathered around the referee. However, Adib was called back by the referee and the game restarted.

The score was tied at 2-2 after the extra time and the match went into a penalty shootout. Selangor won the shoot out with a final score 3-2.
