Selangor Upsets Sabah in Malaysian Super League Opener

KOTA KINABALU, Malaysia (Interstat) — Selangor opened its Super League season with a 2-1 comeback victory over Sabah on Saturday, defying pregame projections that favored the home side. Fergus Tierney gave Sabah an early lead with a goal in the ninth minute at Stadium Likas. Selangor responded before halftime, with Alvin Fortes equalizing in the 44th minute. Faisal Halim scored the decisive goal for the visitors in the 60th minute. The result improved Selangor’s record to 1-0, while Sabah begins the campaign 0-1. The final score matched the prediction from Interstat’s game simulator, though its ELO system had given Sabah a 57.7 percent chance to win.
