Selangor 2:1 Sabah FA: Match Result

Match report

Selangor held their nerve to beat Sabah 2:1 in the FA Cup Round of 16 at home on Tuesday night, advancing to the quarter-finals after a tense second half. E. Sosa opened the scoring in the 36th minute before Park Jung-Bin equalised shortly after the break. The hosts took the lead again in the 56th minute when Chrigor Moraes converted a penalty after his initial effort was saved. The away side had no response, and Selangor carried the side through the final stages despite growing pressure. To be fair, Sabah controlled more of the game. They recorded 113 attacks compared to Selangor's 90, and held 54 per cent possession. But the statistics tell only half the story — Selangor managed 10 shots on target against just four for the visitors. And here's the thing about penalties. Moraes missed the first attempt, but the rebound fell kindly, and he made no mistake from close range. It was a moment that shifted the momentum entirely. The result means Selangor move closer to a semi-final appearance, while Sabah's campaign comes to an end. They had drawn 2:2 with Selangor earlier this season, but this time the hosts found a way through. **Final Score:** Selangor 2:1 Sabah **Goals:** E. Sosa (36'), Chrigor Moraes (56') | Park Jung-Bin (49') **Tournament:** FA Cup Round of 16
