For the second game in a row, reserve team Selangor 2 played in the Malaysia Premier League without a foreign player.
Reserve teams who play in the same competition pyramid as their first team are always in a peculiar situation, in that they cannot be promoted even when they finish the league in a promotional zone, unless their first team is relegated.
The four reserve teams in the Malaysia Premier League are also subjected to the same ruling, but this year another change was introduced by competitions organiser Malaysian Football League (MFL); just for this season, no team will be relegated from the second tier due to the fact that Malaysia's tiers three and lower has been abandoned due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
