🥈 A late penalty was the difference once again as the Singapore Premier League (SPL) Selection fell 2-1 to Selangor Selection in the Sultan of Selangor’s Cup yesterday.

📝 The home side put out a strong starting lineup featuring regulars such as Faisal Halim and Zach Clough, while the SPL Selection fielded experienced heads like Hassan Sunny, Shakir Hamzah, and Safuwan Baharudin.

🥅 Winger Harry Danish put Selangor Selection ahead at the Merdeka Stadium, only for Albirex Niigata forward Takumi Yokohata to level the score just before the break.

🎯 However, substitute Chrigor Moraes converted a late penalty to ensure Selangor lifted the trophy for the fourth year running.

💪 In the earlier Veterans clash, Singapore triumphed over their Selangor counterparts in a 3-2 penalty shootout win after the score remained goalless at full-time.

Three goals, three points for the Stags.

Goals from either sides of the half through Takeshi Yoshimoto & Glenn Kweh and a late finish from Koya Kazama give new coach Noh Rahman a winning start.

Just days after Akbar Nawas departure, the 45-year old started with almost the same eleven with Taufik Suparno coming in for Trent Buhagiar as the only change.

Tanjong Pagar's Zaiful Nizam had an impressive first-half to keep the score level, but the visitors eventually found a breakthrough in the 43rd minute, and later doubled their lead just after the restart through a cool finish by Glenn Kweh.

There was also time for a debut from new signing Tara Ndao as Tampines go top on Saturday evening.

They will next travel to the Philippines to kickoff their ACL2 campaign against Kaya FC on Wednesday.
