Kejaya FC travelled to Blacklanders Arena on 12 April 2026 for a brisk 9-a-side friendly encounter, kicking off at 11:00am. Despite the unusual 15-minute match length, Kejaya FC emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline against Blacklanders FC in a tightly contested fixture.
Deploying a 3-4-1 formation, Kejaya FC set up with three defenders at the back: Azfar Darwisy on the right, Carlleed centrally, and Amrien Azril on the left. The midfield quartet featured Harith Bangah on the right wing, Daim Rizqi and Ammar Amsyar occupying central midfield roles, and Aryan Naza on the left flank. Aqil Rosli led the line as the lone striker, supported just behind by the midfielders. Adam Mikhail guarded the goal. This setup was designed to provide defensive solidity through the back three while allowing the midfield to control possession and supply the forward line. The substitutes available were Uwaimir Anaqi and Aiman Taufik.
The match began at a frenetic pace given the short duration, with both sides eager to make an early impact. At seven minutes, Kejaya FC made a double substitution, bringing on Uwaimir Anaqi for Carlleed in central defence and Aiman Taufik replacing left midfielder Aryan Naza. These changes suggested a tactical tweak to inject fresh legs and perhaps more attacking impetus on the left side.
Shortly after the substitutions, the half-time whistle blew at 7.5 minutes, underscoring the compressed nature of this friendly. However, the action was far from over. Just a minute later, at the eighth minute mark, Kejaya FC broke the deadlock. Azfar Darwisy, operating from his right defensive position, delivered a precise assist that found striker Aqil Rosli, who clinically finished to give Kejaya the lead. This goal highlighted the attacking threat posed by the full-back pushing forward and the striker’s sharpness in front of goal.
While the match events beyond this goal were not detailed, the final scoreline of 2-1 indicates that Kejaya FC managed to extend their advantage and hold off a response from Blacklanders FC. The brief but intense contest showcased Kejaya’s tactical flexibility and ability to adapt quickly with substitutions, ultimately securing a narrow win on enemy turf.
Overall, Kejaya FC’s disciplined defensive structure combined with timely attacking contributions proved decisive in this unusual, fast-paced friendly at Blacklanders Arena.
