Selangor FC has emerged as the champions of the RCTI Premium Sports tournament following a hard-fought victory over Persija Jakarta with a score of 1-0 in a gripping match held at the Jakarta International Stadium on Sunday.
Fondly referred to as the Red Movement, the Malaysian team secured an early lead in the game. A mere three minutes into the match, Ahmad Zikri delivered a flawless cross into Persija’s penalty box, which was expertly headed in by Alvin Mateus Fortes, granting Selangor a 1-0 advantage.
Despite Persija’s efforts to equalize, their endeavors were thwarted by Selangor’s sturdy defense. The relative youth and inexperience of the majority of Persija’s players posed a challenge for them to breach Selangor’s formidable defense. Meanwhile, Selangor continued to pose a threat with the attempts of their foreign player Jose Orozco Cijia to score, placing pressure on Persija’s goalkeeper Cahya Supriadi.
As the game unfolded, Persija persisted in their pursuit of an equalizing goal, with Akbar Arjunsyah and Firza Andika making several attempts. However, Selangor’s goalkeeper remained resolute, repelling Persija’s efforts to level the score. Even Aji Kusuma’s shooting opportunities were foiled by Selangor’s goalkeeper, maintaining Selangor’s 1-0 lead.
In an unexpected turn of events, just before regular time ended, the match faced an interruption when a group of spectators ignited flares, leading to thick smoke engulfing the stadium. Consequently, the match could not continue, resulting in Selangor being declared as the undisputed winners of the tournament.
This triumph for Selangor FC represents a remarkable accomplishment in the RCTI Premium Sports tournament, highlighting the team’s skill and determination on the field.
