PETALING JAYA, Malaysia (Interstat) — Petaling Jaya City secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Negeri Sembilan in a Malaysian Super League match Friday at Stadium Petaling Jaya, defying pregame projections.

The game’s lone goal came in the 74th minute from Alexander Murillo, breaking a deadlock in the Week 16 contest. The result was an upset, as statistical models heavily favored Negeri Sembilan.

The visitors squandered two early goals from Gustavo Almeida dos Santos in the 11th and 62nd minutes, both ruled out. The match was contentious, featuring six yellow cards, including one to Petaling Jaya City’s Kugan Dhevarajan in the 65th minute.

The win marks a rare positive result for Petaling Jaya City this season. Negeri Sembilan’s struggles continue with the narrow road defeat.
