GEORGE TOWN, April 21 — Penang FC clinched a vital 1-0 win over Kuala Lumpur City FC (KL City) in a tense Super League clash at City Stadium tonight, thanks to a decisive first-half strike from striker Muhammad Alif Ikmalrizal Anuar. The Under-23 player capitalised on a defensive lapse to slot home a 27th-minute goal off a low cross from Adib Abdul Ra’op, marking Penang’s second straight victory after beating Negeri Sembilan FC earlier this month.
Despite KL City’s persistent efforts to equalise — including a disallowed header from Patrick Reichelt due to offside — Penang’s resilient defense, led by goalkeeper Sikh Izhan Nazrel, held firm. The match concluded with high drama as KL City’s Adrijan Rudovic was sent off in injury time, leaving the visitors to suffer a second consecutive defeat. Penang now sits 10th with 26 points, just behind Sri Pahang, while KL City remains in sixth place with 28 points.
