Aftermath and reaction

The result was Selangor's biggest league victory in 87 years.[10] Kelantan has now broken the Malaysian football record with recorded 106 goals conceded in all competitions this season including a record breaking 87 goals conceded in the Super League.[11][12] On previous results they also lost with a big score to Terengganu with a result of 8–0 in the league match and also Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) with a result of 10–0 in the cup match.[11] Kelantan head coach Angel Alfredo Vera said that the lack of imported players in his squad was one of the reasons for the team’s crushing big loss defeat to Selangor in their Super League match. He shrugged off the result saying, “We didn’t have players who could dominate this match, especially imported players. The players we have are very young, they don’t have the experience, on average they have only played five Super League matches,” he told the post-match press conference.[11][13] The outcome was also the worst loss by a home team in Malaysian football history, as the eleventh-goal difference doubled the previous record margin.[11]
