Tactical Analysis
Imigresen’s compact defensive shape frustrated Terengganu’s creative players. The visitors exploited spaces left by the home full-backs when they pushed forward, turning defense into attack with devastating speed. Terengganu’s midfield lacked discipline, often caught out of position.

Imigresen’s number 10 was the man of the match, involved in all three goals with an assist and a goal of his own. Terengganu’s goalkeeper made several saves but could do little about the clinical finishing.
