Sabah FC Beat 10-Man Terengganu FC 2-0 in Rain-Soaked Likas Match

Sabah FC defeated Terengganu FC 2-0 in a Malaysian Super League 2026/2027 fixture at Likas Stadium in Kota Kinabalu, according to a match review published by Terengganu FC. The club's report said the game was played in the afternoon and that rain throughout the match left the pitch muddy, making it difficult for both sides to settle into their patterns early on.

Terengganu head coach Nafuzi Zain fielded only three imported players in his starting line-up. The report attributed this to the absence of several imports, including Manuel Ott and Victor Ruiz, who could not join the squad because of injuries. Despite those absences, the report said Nafuzi retained confidence in his players' commitment and ability to deliver a strong performance.

Terengganu created the first chance through a run and shot from Mateus, but the attempt only struck the post. Sabah then opened the scoring in the 20th minute when a long-range strike from Enrique Lopez beat Terengganu goalkeeper Suhaimi Husin. Four minutes later, in the 24th minute, Gonzalo Ignacio's powerful shot found the Terengganu goal again to double Sabah's lead.

Terengganu's task became harder when Romel Morales was sent off in the first half, leaving his side to continue with 10 players. The 2-0 scoreline held until the interval, with Sabah ahead. At the start of the second half, Terengganu made one change, bringing on Habib Haroon in place of Mateus.

The report said Terengganu kept pushing for a goal and tried to fight back despite being a player short, but Sabah's defence stayed disciplined and dealt with every attempt from the visitors. Terengganu ultimately had to accept a 0-2 defeat at Likas Stadium. The account comes from Terengganu FC's own review of the match and does not include independent confirmation of the details.
