KACUK FC hosted Kickers FC at Padang B Pulapol on 2nd November 2025, with kick-off at 5:00pm in a friendly 11-a-side encounter. The visitors secured a comprehensive 4-0 victory over KACUK FC in a match that saw early pressure and a dominant second half display from Kickers FC. Referee Reff Hairi oversaw the proceedings.
KACUK FC lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking intent. The back four consisted of Luqman at left-back, Fazal and Shahrul as the central defensive pairing, and Chai operating at right-back. In midfield, Isz Anuar took up the left midfield role, Ezzy and Ja occupied the central midfield positions, while Roy Sabah featured on the right flank. Leading the line were Bak on the right forward spot and Abg Zul on the left forward position. The goalkeeper duties started with Ejoe. On the bench, KACUK FC had Mat Ipan, Payed, Ariff, Mazue, Shuhaimie, Hanis Bar, Mat, and Ikhwan available for substitution.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 17th minute when a well-placed header found the back of the net, setting the tone for the match. KACUK FC’s defence struggled to contain Kickers FC’s aerial threat early on. At 31 minutes, KACUK FC were forced into an early goalkeeper substitution due to injury, with Mat Ipan replacing Ejoe between the sticks, a disruption that unsettled the home side.
Kickers FC doubled their lead before half-time, scoring again in the 38th minute. The goal further exposed KACUK FC’s defensive frailties and left the home crowd anxious. The first half concluded with Kickers FC firmly in control at 2-0.
The second half saw a flurry of tactical substitutions from KACUK FC as they sought to change the game’s momentum. Payed replaced Ja in central midfield immediately after the break. Shortly after, Ariff came on for Shahrul in central defence, while Mazue took over from Abg Zul in the left forward position. Shuhaimie replaced Ezzy in central midfield, and Hanis Bar came on for Isz Anuar on the left midfield. Further changes followed with Mat substituting Bak up front, and Ikhwan replacing Roy Sabah on the right midfield. These adjustments indicated a shift towards fresh legs and possibly a more dynamic approach. Kacuk FC missed 2 chances to draw as Mazue missed penalty with a shot wide of the goal and Payed also underestimate oppo GK by panenka shot which comfortably saved by the GK.
Despite the changes, Kickers FC extended their advantage with a third goal in the 60th minute. KACUK FC’s attempts to regain control were stifled as the visitors maintained their attacking pressure. The final goal came late in the match, at the 84th minute, sealing a convincing 4-0 victory for Kickers FC.
Throughout the match, Fazal stood out for KACUK FC, showing resilience and leadership in central defence despite the heavy defeat. His performance earned him the player of the match accolade, highlighting his individual effort amid a challenging evening for the home side.
KACUK FC will look to regroup after this defeat as they prepare for upcoming fixtures, while Kickers FC can take confidence from a dominant display on the road.
