A round of applause to both Johor Darul Takzim and Selangor for coming into this match with a level of attitude and mentality that gets fans engaging with the beautiful game. There has been a healthy amount of conversation regarding the footballing aspects from both them. With the style of gameplay that they want to impose through the squad that they have. When you look at the two goals along with the chances. They reinforces the type of football they want to push. Speaking of push. The off the ball ethics, chasing the ball and going through the press as a team is such a positive thing to admire.

Goalkeepers, are keepers.

Farizal Marlias and Khairul Azhan take a bow, respectively. A part from the goals they conceded. They were dominant with their abilities. Obviously this will pose a huge headache for the national football team head coach, Tan Cheng Hoe to decide who he will start for the remaining qualifiers match in June 2021. Bear in mind that the Terengganu goalkeeper, Rahadiazli Rahalim with breathing down their necks. Little notes on the two goalkeepers. Farizal’s anticipation and reading of the game has improved covering much of his back four that does goes high on occasions. Khairul Azhan’s technical confidences on the ball as well as catching the crosses has been a notable ability increase. Sometimes, it’s the basics that breeds confidences to not only the goalkeeper, but the squad that they have a reliable and class of a goalkeeper.
