The Red Giants retook the third spot with a 2-1 win over Klang Valley rivals Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, following the conclusion of round 16 of the Malaysia Super League.
Due to injuries to his players, Selangor boss B. Satiananthan made drastic changes to his line-up. They were made to wait until the 36th minute for the first goal, Ifedayo Olesegun slotting the ball past goalkeeper Sharbinee Allawee. But a controversial penalty to the visitors, awarded by referee Fitri Maskon after he had initially flagged Guilherme de Paula for offside, allowed the Brazilian striker to equalise from the spot at the hour mark.
