Nafuzi demands more from Terengganu despite winning start

Terengganu coach Nafuzi Zain insists there is still plenty of improvement to be made before their next game against Selangor after their opening 3-0 win against Melaka in the Super League. The match was held at Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium. Gervane Kastaneer scored twice for Terengganu, with Victor Ruiz also contributing a goal.

Kastaneer opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Ruiz doubled the lead just before halftime, and Kastaneer added a second goal in the 70th minute. Nafuzi acknowledged that Terengganu had many weaknesses to address, given they fielded a squad with many new players and limited preparation time. He emphasized that the team's win was a collective effort rather than the work of a single player.

For their next match against Selangor, who also started their campaign strongly with a 4-1 victory over Kelantan, Nafuzi stressed the importance of focusing on their own shortcomings and working hard. Meanwhile, Kelantan Red Warriors coach Irfan Bakti expressed concerns about his team's readiness for the Super League due to their limited squad and registration issues.

The match saw Chrigor Moraes open the scoring for Selangor, with Faisal Halim adding a second goal. Despite a late reply from Kelantan, Moraes completed his brace, securing a convincing victory for Selangor.
