Selangor forwards are not ineffective, protests Ifedayo

Although Selangor recorded a 2-1 win over Klang Valley rivals Kuala Lumpur (KL) in their week 16 Malaysia Super League match on Saturday, the way they and their opponents played left a lot to be desired.

Despite dominating possession and creating most of the chances, Selangor in particular failed to combine well in the final third area, to break down the KL defence who were more than happy to sit back and aim for a draw.

In the end it took a controversial last-minute penalty that was converted by Sandro da Silva for them to come away with the three points, after KL forwards Guilherme de Paula's 58th-minute penalty had earlier cancelled out Ifedayo Olesegun's 36th-minute opener.
