Felda United managed to hold Selangor to a 2-2 draw in their first Group D Malaysia Cup match, and the Fighters head coach Nidzam Jamil was rightfully elated with the result.
In the encounter that was held at the Shah Alam Stadium, the hosts raced to a 2-0 lead through goals by Syazwan Zainon (33') and Ifedayo Omosuyi (40'). But the Fighters kept it close through Christie Jayaseelan's 42nd minute goal, before tying the game late in the game through Khairul Amri Kamal's 85th-minute penalty.
Nidzam was a jovial figure in the post-match press conference, describing how fortunate he felt to have a spirited group of players at his disposal.
