Felda United inched closer towards Super League safety, after they defeated Kuala Lumpur 2-0 in their round 20 bottom-of-the-table clash on Wednesday.
Goals by Khairul Amri Kamal (41') and Zahril Azri Zabri (64') at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium allowed the Fighters to pip the City Boys to the 11th spot, separated from safety and PKNP FC in 10th place only by goal difference. They will play PKNP this Saturday on matchday 21.
After the match, Felda boss Nidzam Jamil revealed that the victory was obtained under trying circumstances, due to the fact that he had not been able to lead team training as he is currently undertaking his professional coaching licencing course under the Malaysian FA, along with several other Malaysian club coaches, although he was able to find the time to lead his charges in matches.
