FAM not kicking up a fuss over referee’s incident with Fazly

The alleged kick by referee Suhaizi Sukri on Selangor's leftback Fazly Mazlan in the 45th minute of the game between Selangor and Sabah.

PETALING JAYA: Referee Suhaizi Sukri has made it clear that he had no intention of kicking Selangor leftback Fazly Mazlan during the Red Giants’ FA Cup quarter-final game against Sabah at the Likas Stadium in Kota Kinabalu on July 23.

Suhaizi, through Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general Saifuddin Abu Bakar, clarified that his action was a spontaneous reaction when Fazly stepped on his foot during an incident which went viral and caused a shock on social media.
