Negeri sembilan fc: Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) must maintain the character and discipline currently displayed to ensure the team can sustain its positive momentum throughout the second round of the Super League, said head coach Mohd Nidzam Jamil. He emphasized that the squad's improved performance this season should be evaluated in terms of progress compared with last season, especially as the team is now sixth in the league standings, compared with being among the bottom teams at the same stage last year.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohd Nidzam highlighted that the challenge lies not with other teams but within NSFC itself. "We want to be better than last year. I know many are not too happy when we say we are still building, but building means we must be better than before," he stated. He expressed satisfaction with finishing the first round in sixth place, noting that the team's goal tally has improved and they kept a clean sheet in the recent match. "We must maintain this kind of character," he told reporters following the match against Kelantan The Real Warriors (TRW) FC.

In the match, NSFC secured full points after defeating Kelantan TRW 2-0. Striker Luqman Hakim Shamsudin was instrumental in the victory, scoring in the 36th and 49th minutes. This win places NSFC sixth with 17 points, while Kelantan TRW occupies the 10th position with 11 points.

Meanwhile, Kelantan TRW assistant head coach Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli expressed dissatisfaction with the results achieved by his players since taking over the team, despite noticeable improvements in performance. "I hope the players realise the situation. Many changes need to be made and I hope they do not become too comfortable," he remarked. He pointed out that the team should not have lost the match as they possess the same quality as NSFC, but acknowledged weaknesses in the attacking unit that hindered their ability to score goals.
