Tactical Changes Prove Effective
The former Singapore international said the positive shift was also influenced by his tactical changes, including several substitutions after the break.
"We brought in fresh players such as Nor Azam Azih and Mohamad Saiful Jamaluddin after noticing a drop in performance in those positions," he said.

Kedah Darul Aman FC’s Disappointing Loss
