PETALING JAYA: Coach Tan Cheng Hoe praised his young charges for stepping up to make sure Selangor earned full points in the Klang Valley derby against Kuala Lumpur in the Super League on Tuesday.

A goal in each half earned Selangor a 2-0 win at Kelana Jaya and thus denied KL’s new coach Nenad Bacina the satisfaction of winning his first match in charge.
