Late-game lapses undid Melaka's good work - Zainal

Melaka United head coach Zainal Abidin Hassan was an evidently distraught man, following his side's 4-3 Super League defeat to Selangor at home on Saturday.

Although at one point they were leading the encounter that was held at the Hang Jebat Stadium 3-2, with four minutes remaining on the clock, the Mousedeers conceded two goals that were scored by Sean Selvaraj from set piece situations.

The defeat was their fifth consecutive match without a win this season.

In the press conference, the former Selangor player and head coach blamed his team's defensive lapse for conceding twice late in the match.
