DPMM FC Denies Penang FC Points in Super League Opener

Brunei-based club DPMM FC started their Super League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Penang FC at the City Stadium.

The match was tightly contested from the beginning. DPMM FC came close to scoring in the 6th minute when striker Dalberto Luan Belo's header struck the crossbar. Penang FC responded quickly, with Filipino player Gayoso Javier Augustine nearly putting them ahead, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside call.

Penang FC's challenge was hampered in the 44th minute when defender Muhammad Fazly Mazlan received a red card for a foul on DPMM FC's Miguel Angelo Agostinho. Despite the numerical advantage, DPMM FC couldn't capitalize immediately, with Dalberto's subsequent chance also being ruled offside.

In the second half, DPMM FC intensified their efforts, and Miguel Angelo finally broke the deadlock in the 64th minute. However, the visitors also faced adversity when defender Tommy Mawat Bada was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Penang FC attempted to equalize with 10 men but could not find the net, resulting in a 1-0 win for DPMM FC and a goalless start to the season for Penang FC.
