Selangor FC clinched their first win in the first round of the Super League against Kelantan United FC at home, recording a razor-thin 1:0 victory courtesy of Yazan Al-Arab's goal in the 40th minute of the first half.
As if that wasn't enough to satisfy them, they went on to neutralize the threat of Kuching FA on the road to record a commanding victory, which saw them score five unanswered goals, and it's without doubt their efficiency in attack was beyond efficient to help them secure another three-pointer.
With six points from two games, they are positioned in second place and are level on points with Sabah FA (1st), Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (3rd), and Kedah Darul Aman FC (4th).
Sri Pahang FC
The Elephants lived up to the expectations of a favorite side in their recent home match against newly promoted Kelantan FA as they recorded a convincing 4:1 victory to secure all three points in the bag, displaying a dominant first-half performance to score all four goals before moving into a more defensive approach in the second half, which saw them concede a goal in the closing stages of the game.
Prior to that, they were up against Negeri Sembilan on the road, against whom they finished 13 points behind in the previous season with their last meeting ending in a 2:1 defeat, but this time around they didn't give in to them as they managed to hold them to a 1:1 draw in their first round of the Super League.
Faced with a tough time in their previous season to finish in 7th place with 28 points, now they find themselves occupying 5th place with 4 points from just two games, and it seems they are heading in the right direction, but with the season still in its early stages, only time will tell how they'll fare under their new manager Fandi Ahmad.
