Pan Gon seeks calm after 10-man Selangor survive Melaka scare
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor head coach Kim Pan Gon hopes to avoid the same anxiety he experienced in a 3-2 win over Melaka in a Super League match at the MBPJ Stadium on Sunday.
Selangor head coach Kim Pan Gon is seeking to regain composure after his team's dramatic 3-2 victory against Melaka in a Super League match at the MBPJ Stadium on Sunday. The Red Giants played the entire second half with 10 players after Kay Tejan received a red card in the first half. Pan Gon expressed distress at being unable to celebrate a two-goal lead scored by Chrigor Moraes when Melaka responded with goals from Syahir Rashid and Do Dong Hyun.
Moraes then missed a penalty with three minutes remaining. Jefferson Tabinas scored the winning goal in injury time, eliciting cheers from the crowd. Pan Gon described this intense moment as typical in football, particularly when a player is sent off. His team managed the situation well, scoring the decisive goal for a thrilling win.
Despite conceding two goals, which was unusual, Selangor secured a valuable victory. The result places Selangor third in the league standings, tied with Kuching City with nine points. Defending champions Johor Darul Ta zim lead the table with 12 points.
