Broussard's late strike seals third women's league crown for Sabah
KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah successfully defended the National Women’s League (LWN) title for the second consecutive time after edging Selangor 1-0 in the final at the KLFA Stadium here on Sunday.
KUALA LUMPUR — Sabah maintained their dominance in the National Women's League (LWN) by securing their third consecutive title with a 1-0 victory over Selangor in the final match at the KLFA Stadium on Sunday. The decisive moment came late in the game when American striker Enzi Broussard scored a last-minute goal, marking Sabah's third league title in the last three years, following their wins in 2023 and 2025.
Throughout the match, Sabah showed dominance, particularly in the first half. However, Selangor's goalkeeper Nurdiana Syafiqah Mohd Rostam displayed remarkable saves, notably denying Enzi Broussard's free-kick in the 21st minute and blocking a close-range attempt from defender Juliana Barek in the 38th minute.
As the game progressed, Selangor intensified their efforts, with substitute Yeo Menji's effort in the 69th minute narrowly missing the goal. Eventually, Sabah capitalized on a mistake by Nurdiana Syafiqah, who mishandled a long-range shot from Enzi Broussard, securing the championship for Bobby Gonzales's team just before the final whistle blew.
