Pahang Rangers Hold One-Goal Advantage Over Selangor FC After MPFL Futsal Final First Leg

Pahang Rangers FC claimed a 4-3 victory over Selangor FC in the first leg of the 2026 Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL) final, played on the night of 24 October at the SUKPA Sports Complex Indoor Stadium in Kuantan. The result gives the home side a slender advantage heading into the return fixture.

Selangor drew first blood in the eighth minute when defender Borges Evandro converted to put the visitors ahead. Pahang Rangers levelled three minutes later through a powerful strike by Muhammad Razin A Rahim, before play was suspended for 30 minutes after a roof leak left the court surface wet.

Pahang Rangers Pull Clear in Second Half

Pahang Rangers moved decisively ahead once play resumed in the second half. In the 24th minute, Rodrigo Galvao da Silva beat a defender before firing home to put the hosts in front for the first time. Muhammad Syarifuddin Md Akhir extended the lead two minutes later with a composed finish, making it 3-1.

Felipe De Almeida Souza added a fourth in the 33rd minute to put Pahang Rangers seemingly out of reach at 4-1. Selangor, however, refused to relent — Marlon Oliveira Araujo pulled one back almost immediately, and Borges completed a brace in the 39th minute to bring the score to 4-3, setting up a tense finish.

Pahang Rangers held on to secure the win and carry the one-goal lead into the second leg.
