PETALING JAYA: If there is one man who deserved to be named player of the match in the clash between Selangor and Sabah in the Super League at the Likas Stadium on Thursday, it has to be Baddrol Bakhtiar.

The 35-year-old veteran midfielder not only scored the winning goal in the 66th minute but went on to complete 90 minutes, even though his head was bleeding after a collision with Selangor centreback Harith Haiqal Adam Afkar in the 80th minute.
