Satiananthan criticises Selangor charges for making easy encounter tougher for themselves

Although his charges managed a 2-1 win over Klang Valley rivals Kuala Lumpur (KL) in their week 16 Super League match on Saturday, Selangor boss B. Satiananthan was unimpressed with the way they made things harder for themselves.

Ifedayo Olesegun gave the hosts the lead with his 36th minute goal at the Shah Alam Stadium, but a bizarre penalty call that was converted by Guilherme de Paula in the 58th minute made things tougher for the Red Giants. Only in the final moments of the match did they find the winner, when the referee pointed to the spot after Sean Selvaraj went down in the box under Luke Woodward's challenge, another contentious penalty decision that was then put away by Sandro da Silva.
