Daniel added his second in the 71st minute before the visitors reduced the deficit late in the match.

Coach Alto Linus was happy with the progress of the players following the big win. 'It was a good result from the team, but there are still several aspects of our game that need to be improved before the start of the new league season. 'I am satisfied with the overall performance of all the players, including the substitutes who came in the second half. 'This friendly was to strengthen the team's match fitness before the league begins in early August and I want to see the players are fully prepared and able to maintain their consistency to get positive results in every match,' he said. Meanwhile, the Rhinos are set to play more friendly matches before the opening match in the new season against Melaka FC at Likas Stadium on August 10. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Three super league teams must propose alternative venues for Ramadan matches
THREE Super League teams—Kelantan Darul Naim (KDN) FC, DPMM FC, and Imigresen FC—have been instructed to propose alternative venues for their home matches during Ramadan. The Malaysian Football League (MFL) has set a deadline of August 15 for submissions. Acting MFL CEO Mohd Shazli Shaik Mohd explained that the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium (KDN FC) and Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium (DPMM FC) are unavailable during Ramadan. Meanwhile, Imigresen FC's Batu Kawan State Stadium lacks night-match suitability. 'We have informed these three teams to name alternative venues so that we can schedule matches for the month of Ramadan,' said Mohd Shazli after the MFL and Genius Sports partnership announcement at Wisma FAM. He discouraged scheduling away matches for these teams, stressing the importance of maintaining home-and-away fixtures. 'There is a possibility, but we do not encourage it because we need to maintain the home and away rules.' - Bernama

DPMM FC to sponsor Super League teams' travel to Brunei for 2025-2026 season
THE Malaysian Football League (MFL) today confirmed that DPMM FC of Brunei Darussalam will fully sponsor 2025-2026 season Super League teams who will have to travel to the country for matches. MFL acting chief executive officer Mohd Shazli Shaik Mohd said the sponsorship is part of the main agreement between MFL and DPMM FC to ensure the smooth participation of the club in the local league competition. 'One of the most important things in our agreement with DPMM FC is over the matter. 'So DPMM FC requested that for the coming season, it will be done. Brunei will do it,' he told reporters after the Official Ball Launch Ceremony of the 2025-2026 Malaysian League Season here, today. Meanwhile, Mohd Shazli explained that although DPMM FC participated in the Malaysian League, the club is not eligible to represent the country in Asian level tournaments such as the AFC Cup or tournaments organised by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). 'If Brunei is in a position to qualify for the AFF or AFC slot, Brunei will not represent the slot as our national representative,' he said. At the event, MFL launched the official ball of the 2025-2026 Malaysia League, namely the PUMA Orbita MFL 1. Meanwhile, Mohd Shazli announced that 12 teams have confirmed their match venues for the new season with the Darul Makmur Stadium, Kuantan being used as an alternative venue in case there are issues at the state level. Meanwhile, Immigration FC has been given until Monday to confirm their venue, while MFL will go to Brunei on July 10 and 11 for a special briefing session with DPMM FC. 'Our East Coast area has been settled. Darul Makmur Stadium has also been designated as one of the alternative venues should any team needs one. 'For example, we are aware that Kota Bharu cannot be used during the month of Ramadan because it is used as a place for Tarawih prayers,' he said He added that the inspection process is currently continuing in the northern part of the peninsula and will end once all venues have been inspected and confirmed. The MFL previously announced that 13 clubs have confirmed their participation to compete in the new Malaysia League 2025-2026 season. The clubs competing for the championship this time are Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT), Selangor FC, Penang FC, Kuching City FC, Sabah FC, Terengganu FC, Negeri Sembilan FC, Kelantan Darul Naim FC, Kuala Lumpur City FC, PDRM FC and DPMM FC as well as two clubs from AFL A1, namely Melaka FC and Imigresen FC. - Bernama

The Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced in a statement that the 'Elephants' squad, which received the 2025/26 national license, has decided not to compete in the M-League by submitting a confirmation letter dated June 16. The decision will see 13 teams participating in the new season which will begin on August 8. 'All clubs have been granted the 2025-2026 National License by the independent First Instance Body (FIB) with the club from Brunei, DPMM FC, being granted approval from the International Football Association Board (FIFA) and the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) to compete in the 2025-2026 Malaysia League. 'However, Sri Pahang FC, which also received the 2025-2026 National License, have decided not to compete in the Malaysia League this season by submitting a confirmation letter dated 16 June 2025,' said MFL in a statement issued on its Facebook page today. According to MFL, the clubs competing in the championship this time are Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT), Selangor FC, Penang FC, Kuching City FC, Sabah FC, Terengganu FC, Negeri Sembilan FC, Kelantan Darul Naim FC, Kuala Lumpur City FC, PDRM FC and DPMM FC and two clubs from AFL A1, namely Melaka FC and Imigresen FC. Commenting further, MFL announced that this season's Malaysian League calendar will begin with a clash between JDT, the Super League champion and Selangor, the Super League runners-up in the Charity Shield match on August 8, 2025, which is also the league's opening match at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, Johor. Meanwhile, the FA Cup tournament will begin in mid-August, the Malaysia Cup and MFL Challenge Cup in January 2026. MFL also announced that this season's Malaysian League calendar will run for 10 months, after last season's adjustment which lasted 14 months to align the schedule with international leagues. 'MFL will release the 2025-2026 Malaysian League schedule soon as MFL is facing constraints in completing the full schedule for the season since the AFC will only hold its draw for the ACL Elite and ACL 2 competitions involving JDT and Selangor FC on August 15. 'Meanwhile, MFL is still waiting for the detailed date of the Asean Club Championship from AFF which also involves the participation of JDT and Selangor FC,' according to the MFL. — Bernama
