Selangor FC secured all three points at the Likas Stadium, Kota Kinabalu, after defeating Sabah FC 2–1 in the 2025/26 Super League clash.

The match began with both sides showing attacking intent, trading early chances in search of the opening goal. The home side took the lead in the ninth minute when Fergus Tierney rose highest to head the ball neatly past the Selangor FC goalkeeper. Before the break, Alvin Fortes, operating on the left flank for the Red and Yellow squad, levelled the score in the 44th minute with a powerful strike that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

In the second half, Selangor FC returned to the pitch with renewed energy, registering nine attempts on goal and dominating 54% of possession. Their persistence paid off in the 59th minute when Raimi Shamsul’s pass was intercepted by Dominic Tan, but the loose ball fell perfectly for Faisal Halim, who calmly slotted it home to put Selangor FC ahead, a goal that ultimately sealed victory for the Red Giants at the Likas Stadium.

Head Coach Christophe Gamel expressed his delight with the team’s bravery and determination in last night’s #SABSFC match.

“Today, I’m very proud of the courage shown by the players. It’s never easy to come here and win, but that was our goal and we achieved it by bringing home all three points. The players showed great fighting spirit from start to finish. Against a strong side, this was an excellent win for us. I’m pleased with how we played and how the team has continued to grow throughout the match,” proud Gamel.

“With this kind of spirit, I believe we can go even further. Of course, there are still things we need to improve to reach a higher level, but we’ll stay focused and face every challenge together as one team,” he added.
