KUALA LUMPUR: Negri Sembilan were awarded a 3-0 win and three points after KL City were found to have failed to register enough players for their Super League fixture at Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi last Saturday.
Negri Sembilan were awarded a 3-0 victory and three points in their Super League fixture against KL City after the Malaysian Football League (MFL) found the latter had failed to register enough players for the match at Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium last Saturday. The MFL also imposed a RM50,000 fine on KL City and ordered the club to pay additional compensation for the cancellation of the match.
The decision was made after the MFL reviewed documents submitted by both parties, including a medical report from a government hospital dated August 24, which was provided by KL City. The decision marks an unfortunate start to the new Super League season for both clubs.
