KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Bernama) -- Selangor FC head coach Katushito Kinoshi expressed pride in his players' performance after they secured a 1-0 victory over Terengganu FC (TFC) in their Super League match yesterday.
According to Kinoshi, the Selangor players demonstrated a high fighting spirit and did not give up until the final moments to score the winning goal, thus ensuring the Red Giants collected the full three points.
"Today's (yesterday’s) match was very big for me and I'm very satisfied because of their job as professional football players and as Selangor team players.
"They fought as a team and got three points. I am so glad to see this kind of football," he told the post-match press conference.
In the match held at the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium (MBPJ), Selangor winger Alvin Fortes emerged as the hero for the Red Giants by scoring the only goal in the dying minutes.
The 30-year-old player met Faisal Halim’s lofted pass before unleashing a powerful shot past Terengganu goalkeeper Rahadiazli Rahalim to seal the 1-0 win for Selangor.
Meanwhile, TFC head coach Badrul Afzan Razali expressed disappointment with his team's performance after they failed to convert the chances they created into goals.
However, he acknowledged that his players had given their best in the match and hoped they would bounce back to collect three points against The Cops next Saturday.
