  "account": "Selangor coach Kim Pan Gon expressed frustration over winger Faisal Halim, also known as Mickey, facing an extended injury absence following a poor performance in an FA Cup match. The South Korean player aggravated an existing injury during international duty, continuing to play despite being hit by an opponent. Pan Gon believes Faisal will need more time to recover. The injury setback added to Selangor's troubles, as they lost 3-2 to Star City in a FA Cup quarter-final replay, squandering a 2-0 lead. Star City's coach Mehmet Durakovic praised his team's performance, noting that Selangor had not lost a home game in over 15 matches. Meanwhile, KL City coach Datuk Dollah Salleh lamented his team's failure to utilize their numerical advantage after a DPMM player was sent off, ultimately failing to secure a win against the 10-man side. DPMM's victory sets up a semi-final clash with the defending champions, Johor Darul Ta zim, while Selangor will face Kuching City in the semi-finals.",
