Kejaya FC hosted Blacklanders FC at the Kejaya Athletic Ground on 8 May 2026, with kick-off at 5:00pm for a league fixture played under the 9-a-side format. The match lasted 40 minutes plus added time and ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, reflecting a fiercely contested encounter between the two sides.
Kejaya FC lined up in a 3-4-1 formation, deploying three defenders at the back, four midfielders across the middle, and a lone striker leading the attack. Adam Mikhail guarded the goal, supported by Qays Carlleed at right defender, Ahmad Shaqif centrally, and Azfar Darwisy on the left. The midfield quartet featured Danial Firaas on the right, Uwaimir Anaqi and Daim Rizqi centrally, and Aqil Rosli on the left, with Harith Bangah positioned as the sole striker upfront. This setup was designed to provide defensive solidity through the back three while allowing the midfielders to control possession and supply the striker with chances. No substitutes were named for this fixture.
The match unfolded with both teams probing cautiously in the opening exchanges, each seeking to assert control in midfield. Kejaya’s midfielders, particularly Uwaimir Anaqi and Daim Rizqi, aimed to dominate central areas, while the wide midfielders Danial Firaas and Aqil Rosli looked to stretch the play and support Harith Bangah in attack.
As the first half progressed, the tempo increased, with both sides creating opportunities. However, the half-time whistle arrived at the 20-minute mark with the score level, indicating a balanced contest. The defensive trio of Kejaya, led by Ahmad Shaqif centrally, were tested repeatedly by Blacklanders’ forwards but held firm to keep the scoreline even.
The second half saw a continuation of the high-intensity battle, with Kejaya pushing forward to break the deadlock. Harith Bangah’s movement and link-up play were crucial in unsettling the Blacklanders’ defence, while the midfielders worked tirelessly to supply him with quality service. Despite Kejaya’s efforts, Blacklanders responded with equal determination, exploiting spaces and testing Adam Mikhail in goal.
Both teams found the net twice during the match, resulting in a 2-2 draw that reflected the competitive nature of the fixture. Kejaya’s defensive line, midfield engine, and lone striker all contributed to the goals scored, while Blacklanders matched their intensity to ensure the points were shared.
In the end, the match was a showcase of tactical discipline and attacking endeavour from both sides, with Kejaya FC demonstrating resilience and teamwork in front of their home crowd at the Kejaya Athletic Ground. The 3-4-1 formation allowed Kejaya to balance defence and attack effectively, though the evenly matched Blacklanders ensured neither side could claim victory on the day.
