Haaland Double Secures KACUK FC Victory Over Telolona FC

KACUK FC welcomed Telolona FC to Kolej Vokasional ERT Setapak on the morning of 14 December 2025 for a friendly 11-a-side encounter, kicking off at 8:30am. The home side emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline after a competitive 90 minutes under the watchful eye of referee Reff Pian.

KACUK FC deployed a classic 4-4-2 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking potency. Wan took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper, shielded by a back four comprising Shuhaimie at right back, Fazal and Ezzy as the central defensive pairing, and Marzuqi operating on the left flank. The midfield line featured Jijo on the right wing, Long and Isz Anuar centrally, and Jabbar on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supplying the forwards. Up front, Ariff led the line on the right, partnered by the prolific Haaland on the left. The bench included Shahman, ready to influence proceedings if called upon.

The match’s first significant moment arrived in the 29th minute when Haaland opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range strike. Receiving a neat short pass from Jijo, Haaland unleashed a left-footed effort that flew beyond the goalkeeper, setting the tone for KACUK FC’s attacking intent. The home side maintained their shape and discipline as the half progressed, with the defence holding firm to keep Telolona FC at bay until the break.

At half-time, the score stood at 1-0 to KACUK FC. Early in the second half, tactical adjustments were made as Shahman replaced Shuhaimie at right back in the 47th minute, signalling a shift in approach to maintain pressure and control on the right flank.

KACUK FC doubled their advantage in the 66th minute through Haaland once again, this time rising highest to meet a precise cross from Isz Anuar. The forward’s header was clinical, demonstrating his aerial prowess and composure inside the box. This goal highlighted the effectiveness of KACUK’s wide play and the intelligent delivery from midfield.

Telolona FC responded swiftly, pulling a goal back in the 71st minute with a close-range finish inside the box. Despite this setback, KACUK FC’s defensive unit, marshalled by Fazal and Ezzy, remained resolute, repelling further advances and preserving the lead until the final whistle.

Isz Anuar’s influence throughout the match was pivotal, both in midfield control and his assist for the second goal earning him the player of the match accolade. His vision and delivery consistently unlocked the opposition’s defence, enabling KACUK FC to dominate possession and create meaningful chances.

In a tightly contested friendly, KACUK FC’s tactical discipline, combined with Haaland’s clinical finishing, proved decisive in securing a 2-1 victory over Telolona FC at home.
