Selangor FC delivered a statement performance on home soil as they defeated Vietnam’s Cong An Hanoi 2-0 in Matchday 4 of the Shopee Cup 2025/26 Group Stage, Group A at MBPJ Stadium, Petaling Jaya.
The Red Giants were inspired by captain Faisal Halim, whose second-half brace ensured three vital points at the MBPJ Stadium, keeping Selangor’s momentum strong in the group stage.
Selangor manager entrusted Kalamullah Al-Hafiz with goalkeeping duties, while Faisal led the side as captain and Brazilian forward Chrigor Moraes spearheaded the attack.
CAHN, meanwhile, started with goalkeeper Nguyen Filip between the posts, with striker Alan Grafite serving as their main attacking threat.
Selangor began aggressively, feeding off the energy of the home supporters as Hugo Boumous and Chrigor launched early attacking moves, although their efforts failed to hit the target.
CAHN responded with pressure of their own, driven by the attacking combination of Grafite and midfield maestro Nguyen Quang Hai.
Both sides played with intensity, but clear-cut chances were limited.
Chrigor came close in the 33rd minute with a powerful strike, only to be denied by an excellent save from Nguyen Filip.
At the other end, Kalamullah produced a key stop late in the first half to preserve Selangor’s clean sheet.
The first half ended 0-0, with the match finely balanced.
CAHN threatened early in the second half through Bui Hoang, but once again Kalamullah stood firm.
Selangor finally found the breakthrough in the 60th minute.
Club star Faisal Halim finished clinically to give the Red Giants a deserved 1-0 lead, igniting the home crowd.
Chrigor nearly doubled the advantage five minutes later, but his effort flew wide.
Faisal struck again in the 69th minute, this time after a beautifully weighted assist from new import signing Hugo Boumous.
The captain’s composed finish made it 2-0, effectively putting the match beyond CAHN’s reach.
Selangor continued pushing for more, with Chrigor testing the Vietnamese defence late on, but no further goals followed.
The final whistle confirmed a crucial victory for Selangor in front of their fans, as Faisal Halim’s double secured maximum points in Shopee Cup Matchday 4.
With this win, Selangor strengthen their position in the group and boost their confidence heading into the decisive stages of the competition.
