SELANGOR HELD, MISSED SUPER LEAGUE TITLE

MALAYSIA SUPER LEAGUE: PKNS 2 - SELANGOR 2

Selangor failed to win the Malaysia Super League title after they only managed to draw against PKNS FC. The result gave Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) their first ever Super League win. The Red Giants came to the stadium with high hopes as they were confident in defeating the home side.

It was a great start for the visitors as their top scorer, Paulo Rangel scored the first goal on the 22nd minute to put them up by 1-0. But The Red Ants did not give up and Patrick Ronaldinho scored the equalizer for them after he managed to beat the offside trap. The Red Giants did not wait too long to score back as Rangel scored from the corner to put his goal tally to 16 goals in the MSL.

Selangor looked certain to win this match with better ball possession until The Fire Ants were given a penalty which was converted by the South Korean, Kim Dong Chen to put the scoreline 2-2 until the end. With the draw, Mehmet Durakovic's men finished second in the MSL while PKNS were relegated to MPL.
