134th Durand Cup: Nasir Yasa Guides Malaysian Armed Forces To A Narrow Win Over Rangdajied United
Malaysian Armed Forces: A second-half strike by forward Nasir Yasa proved to be the difference as Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) FT edged past homeside Rangdajied United FC (RUFC) 1-0 in a tightly contested Group F match of the 134th Durand Cup, which was played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Tuesday.
Despite Rangdajied United dominating both possession and attacking chances, it was the Malaysian side who made its moment count. Nasir Yasa, capitalising on a counter-attack in the 67th minute, calmly slotted the ball into the near post with a composed left-footed finish after being set up by Muhammad Arif, sealing the victory for the visiting side.
The hosts started strong and had early opportunities. In the 10th minute, Lawphinaw’s goal-bound effort was denied by ATM keeper Anuar. Moments later, a well-worked free kick from Balamlynti to Wadshwa Latoo saw the latter miss a free header. Bantiplang Rymbai and Stephanson Pale also tested the Malaysian keeper, but without success.
