Frustrated Reynolds rues DPMM draw with Police after ceding two-goal lead
KUALA LUMPUR: Brunei's DPMM endured a frustrating return to the M-League after throwing away a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw with Police in the Super League at Selayang Stadium on Saturday. Making their first appearance in the competition since the 2007-08 season, DPMM raced ahead inside six minutes through Ramadhan Sananta and Miguel Oliveira. But Police hit back, with South Korean import Park Tae Su striking twice in the 67th and 71st minutes to level the contest. DPMM coach McAllister Reynolds was left ruing his side's missed chances. "We should have scored more than two goals today. We could have put the game to bed with a third," he said. "In the second half, credit to Police, but we could have defended their goals better. "There were individual mistakes. We have a lot of new players, so it takes time to gel. At 2-2, we still created chances — it's frustrating." DPMM rejoined the M-League after several seasons in Singapore's S-League. Meanwhile, Kelantan the Real Warriors (KTRW) coach E. Elavarasan admitted his side were second best in a 4-0 defeat to Kuching City at the Sarawak Stadium, blaming poor defending and a lack of physicality. "Kuching were better prepared and more competitive. They've played together for years, and you can see the difference," he said. "We need to find more quality players." Kuching's goals came from Ronald Ngah Wanja (second, 71st), Joao Pedro (18th) and Ramadhan Saifullah (90th). In Batu Kawan, KL City cruised to a 3-0 win over Immigration FC, ending a 30-year wait for a season-opening victory with a clean sheet.

DPMM FC to foot travel bill for Super League teams heading to Brunei
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Football League (MFL) has confirmed that DPMM FC will fully sponsor all Malaysian Super League teams travelling to Brunei during the 2025-2026 season. MFL acting chief executive officer Shazli Shaik said the sponsorship arrangement forms part of a key agreement between MFL and DPMM to ensure the smooth participation of the Brunei-based club in the M-League. Under the agreement, DPMM will cover all travel and accommodation expenses. The move mirrors the support the club previously extended to teams in Singapore's S-League. "One of the most important matters in our agreement with DPMM is this sponsorship," said Shazli after the launch of the official match ball for the 2025-2026 season on Saturday. "DPMM requested that it be implemented for the upcoming season, and they've confirmed Brunei will bear the cost." Shazli clarified that although DPMM will compete in the M-League, the club are not eligible to represent Malaysia in international club competitions - Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE), Asian Champions League 2 (ACL2) and Asean Club Championship (ACC). "If Brunei qualify, they will not represent Malaysia as a national slot holder," he said. At the event, MFL unveiled the official ball for the new season - the PUMA Orbita MFL 1. Shazli also announced that 12 teams have confirmed their home venues, with Darulmakmur Stadium in Kuantan identified as an alternative site should any team face last-minute issues. He revealed that Immigration FC have been given until Monday to confirm their venue, while MFL will travel to Brunei on July 10-11 for a special briefing with DPMM . "Our East Coast zone is settled. The Darulmakmur Stadium will serve as a backup venue if necessary," he said. The 13 teams who will play in the M-League next season are Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), Selangor, Penang, Kuching City, Sabah, Terengganu, Negri Sembilan, Kelantan Darul Naim, KL City, Police, DPMM, Melaka and Immigration.
