Selangor denied opening win after late Buriram equaliser


PETALING JAYA: Selangor were denied a winning start to their Asean Club Championships campaign after they were held to a 1-1 draw by defending champions Buriram United on Wednesday (Aug 20).

In the Group A match at the Chang Stadium in Buriram, Selangor were without the injured Mukhairi Ajmal and Wilian Lira but they still went ahead in the 36th minute when Brazilian striker Chrigor Moraes slotted home after a pass from Nooa Laine.

Buriram, under coach Osmar Loss, pushed hard for the equaliser but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Kallamullah Al Hafiz, who pulled off several key saves.

Selangor looked set to take all three points, only for Austrian defender Peter Zulj to head in the equaliser from a corner in stoppage time to make it 1-1.
