Faisal's brace gives Selangor healthy lead in FA Cup
PETALING JAYA: Captain Faisal Halim scored twice to inspire Selangor to a 3-1 victory over Malaysian University in their FA Cup first-round, first-leg match on Saturday. Faisal opened the scoring in the fourth minute, ghosting in at the far post to turn in Aliff Izwan's cross from the left. Cape Verde winger Alvin Fortes doubled the advantage in the 24th minute, before Faisal completed his brace just before half-time. Malaysian University substitute Aiman Daniel pulled one back for his side in the 83rd minute. He dispossessed Selangor defender Moses Raj and coolly slotted the ball past goalkeeper Samuel Somerville. Despite the win, Selangor coach Katsuhito Kinoshi said he was unhappy with his team for conceding a goal. "We still need to make improvements. We conceded an unnecessary goal. Anyway, it is part of the learning process, and scoring three goals gives us a healthy lead ahead of the return leg," he said. The return leg will be played at the same venue on Sept 13.
