  "account": "On Sunday, Selangor secured a 3-0 victory over their Super League rivals KL City at the MBPJ Stadium, marking the beginning of their claim to be the Kings of the Klang Valley. The match was watched by nearly 5,000 excited fans. In the 26th minute, Selangor's A. Selvan scored the opening goal, taking advantage of a collision between KL City's goalkeeper Ameerul Eqhwan Fauzi and their own defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco, which allowed the ball to drop for Selan. Just 25 minutes later, Selangor extended their lead to 2-0. Faisal Halim's shot deflected off Dmytro Lytvyn and found Moraes, who scored easily. Brazilian Moraes then contributed to the win in the 73rd minute, finding Venezuelan playmaker Eduardo Sosa in the box for the third goal. Selangor's victory maintains their third-place position in the table with 12 points, trailing leaders Johor Darul Ta zim (15) and second-placed Kuching City (12). Meanwhile, Sabah's early-season struggles continued with a 2-1 loss to DPMM at the Likas Stadium. The Brunei-based team scored early through Ebenezer Abban, who became the first to score for Sabah this season. However, Sabah equalized through Gonzalo Renzo, only for Australian Jordan Murray to secure the win for DPMM in the 65th minute. Despite the setback, Sabah remains in fourth place with six points, just ahead of DPMM in fifth place, separated by goal difference.",
