SultanOfSelangor'sCup2010

40,000 fans thronged the Shah Alam Stadium to watch what has become more than just a football match. In a family-carnival type atmosphere, the fans were taken back to the 70's, 80's and 90's where football was king among the Malaysia Cup faithful.

This year marked a sad occasion where Dollah Kassim the 'gelek-king" of Spore football passed away almost a year to the day he had a heart attack while representing Spore during The Sultan of Selangor's Cup held in Spore last year. A minute's silence was observed before the veteran's match which Selangor won 1-0 thanks to Sharin Majid.

There have been many comments regarding the main game; as to why the match was held one day after the 2nd leg quarter-final in Kota Bharu where Selangor crashed out 0-3 to Kelantan.
The date of 16th October was agreed on by Selangor and Singapore many months ago before the Malaysia Cup draw and due to the hectic schedule of both sides and despite the match being sanctioned by FAM, they still scheduled Selangor's QF match a day before. Why ? I have no idea.

But it was ok, as HRH Sultan Selangor said the main priority of this match was for the enjoyment of the fans and the result is immaterial, though it would have been nice if Selangor won.
Final score was Spore 6 Selangor 0.
