Negeri Sembilan FC are pushing for a walkover victory after their fixture against Kuala Lumpur City was called off, according to Free Malaysia Today.
The club has formally requested that the result be recorded as a forfeit win in their favour, the outlet reports. The match was abandoned, though the specific reason for the stoppage has not been detailed in the available reporting.
The demand comes as Malaysian football authorities typically assess such cases based on competition rules, which allow for a walkover when a team is unable to complete a match. Free Malaysia Today’s report indicates Negeri Sembilan are arguing that the circumstances surrounding the abandonment should be treated as a default in their favour.
KL City have not yet publicly responded to the claim, and it remains unclear whether the league will uphold the request or order a replay. The outcome could have implications for the standings, depending on how the governing body interprets the rules.
Observers will be watching for the league’s official decision, which will determine whether Negeri Sembilan secure the three points or whether the fixture is rescheduled.
