SELANGOR

Khairul Azhan Khalid - 6/10

The goalkeeper had a good game until the final moments of the match, when he failed to stop Hafiz Ramdan's last-gasp long-range equaliser.

Amirul Haziq Rasmizal - NA

The young defender, making his first start this season as a right back, had to be taken off in the 32nd minute of the first half due to an injury.

Alfonso de la Cruz - 6/10

Finally playing in his natural position in centre back, the Spaniard did relatively well to keep the visitors out of the centre back, until the last seconds of the match of course.

Willian Pacheco - 6/10

The Brazilian centre back commanded his defence line well throughout the match, only for them to undo the good work by failing to stop the last-gasp goal.

Kannan Kalaiselvan - 6/10

The left back performed well to protect his flank throughout the match and mark the usually dangerous PKNP captain Shahrel Fikri Fauzi out of the match.

Saiful Ridzuan Selamat - 6/10

The defensive midfielder did what was asked of him without any flash; to win the ball in the middle of the park.

Evan Dimas Darmono - 5/10

The Indonesian midfielder had what looked like his worst performance for Selangor in the game. He wasn't able to make dangerous distributions forward, and wasn't as lively in his movements throughout the 90 minutes.

Amri Yahyah - 6/10

The veteran, playing as a midfielder in the match, wasn't as effective as he had been previously, but was still able to be involved in the move that led to their goal in the 53rd minute.

Joseph Kalang Tie - 6/10

Making a rare start, the forward couldn't produce the effectiveness that was expected of him in terms of movements and finishes, but was nevertheless involved in their goal, recording an assist to Rufino Segovia's goal.

Rufino Segovia - 7/10

The spanish striker missed a few chances, but showed his industriousness and also bagged a goal, his sixth of the season.

Sean Selvaraj - 6/10

The young forward, making his third consecutive start of the season, couldn't combine well with Rufino and Joseph, and was taken off in the 76th minute.

Substitutions:

Namathevan Arunasalam - 6/10

Coming on early for the injured Amirul, the right back did what was asked of him, and PKNP had to attack from the left more.

Faizzudin Abidin - NA

The young midfielder came on in the final 15 minutes of the match.

Sarkunan Krishnansamy - NA

The young midfielder came on in the final 10 minutes of the match.

PKNP FC

Ahmad Asyraf Omar - 6/10

The custodian was not tested much in the match by the misfiring Selangor forwards, but when he was he couldn't keep out Rufino's goal.

Muhammad Safar - 5/10

The hosts realised that right back Muhammad was PKNP defence's weakest link, and concentrated their attacks on that side. As a result, Amri breached their left flank before squaring the ball that was then put away by Rufino in the 53rd minute.

Raffi Nagoorgani - 6/10

The centre back did relatively well to keep Rufino out, except for the occassion that led to Selangor's only goal of the night.

Ritus Krjauklis - 6/10

The Latvian centre back commanded his defence well enough to avoid conceding more than just the one goal.

Ezanie Mat Salleh - 6/10

The right back did well to defend against Sean on his flank.

Lyuben Nikolov - 6/10

The Bulgarian midfielder couldn't help his side control the middle of the park, and the hosts were able to launch into attacks throughout the match. He was substituted off in the 62nd minute.

Fadhil Idris - 6/10

The midfielder should have done more to help his side control the middle of the park.

Franklin Clovis Anzité - 6/10

The Central African defender played more as a midfielder in the match, and went up with the ball on multiple occassions. However  he could not provide dangerous passes to the forwards.

Shahrel Fikri Fauzi - 6/10

The right winger and team skipper missed a number of golden chances early in the game, and was then marked out of the game by Selangor defender Kannan.

Hafiz Ramdan - 7/10 (Man of the Match)

The left winger was relatively quiet throughout the match, but rose to the occassion in the final seconds, lashing the ball from outside the box into the bottom far corner, for the late, late equaliser.

Yeon Gi-sung - 5/10

The South Korean forward continued his poor form and goal dearth in the match, unable to threaten the Selangor goal. He was taken off in the 65th minute, and then criticised by head coach Abu Bakar Fadzim in the post-match press conference.

Substitutions:

Norhakim Isa - 6/10

The midfielder came on for Nikolov, and the fresh pair of legs he provided allowed the visitors to attack more often in the final half an hour.

Alif Safwan Sallahuddin - 6/10

The forward came on for Yeon, but couldn't do much better than him.

Ridzuan Azly Hussham - NA

The midfielder came on as a late substitution for Fadhil.
