  "account": "Selangor head coach Kim Pan Gon announced that winger Faisal Halim will be returning to action in the upcoming weeks following a calf muscle injury. However, Pan Gon expressed frustration over his team's defensive discipline during the FA Cup semi-final first leg against Kuching City. The Red Giants secured a 2-1 victory despite allowing the opening goal, which Pan Gon deemed unacceptable. Kuching City, playing with an injured striker Ronald Ngah and a hamstrung Safawi Rasid, created numerous chances while holding out until the final whistle.",
