3. The combination of the defensive line and Samuel Somerville, the goalkeeper, brought victory without conceding.

Praise must be given to the defensive line that has nullified the attacks of the opposing team, especially the Man Of The Match, Safuwan Baharudin who is always in the right position and time to prevent the ball from going through the goal. Likewise, Selangor FC's goalkeeper, Samuel Somerville, has performed well and achieved a record 14th game without conceding since the 2022 season.

However, yesterday's win was not complete without the Red Giants fans who flooded the MBPJ Stadium to keep behind the team. Thank you, Red Giants..

Selangor FC hopes that this victory will to some extent help the team to remain strong through the Malaysian League competition in the 2024/25 season. Come on Red Giant!
