Josue aiming to create more history with Kuala Lumpur City

Kuala Lumpur: Paulo Josue is looking to write a new chapter in Kuala Lumpur City FC’s history as the Brazilian gets set to lead the Malaysian side into the 2022 AFC Cup™ ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals against Vietnam’s Viettel FC on August 10. 

After captaining the capital city side to their first Malaysia Cup since 1989 last year, the 33-year-old - who has been at the club since 2017 - was a standout performer as Kuala Lumpur made their AFC Cup debut in June and advanced to the knockout rounds as the best-placed runners-up. 

Following a goalless draw against PSM Makassar in their opening Group H game, the midfielder netted two outstanding goals in the 2-1 win over Tampines Rovers that ensured Kuala Lumpur joined PSM, fellow Malaysian side Kedah Darul Aman and opponents Viettel in the ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals.

Rizky: I'm fulfilling lifelong dream with PSM in AFC Cup™

Makassar: Rizky Eka Pratama has admitted it’s a dream come true to represent boyhood club PSM Makassar in the AFC Cup™ 2022 as the Indonesian side look forward to their ASEAN Zonal Semi-final against Malaysia’s Kedah Darul Aman on August 9. 

Winger Rizky, who was born in South Sulawesi, not far from Makassar, was instrumental in helping his side reach the knockout rounds as he scored one and created another in the come-from-behind 3-1 group stage win over Singapore’s Tampines Rovers in June to help PSM top the Group H standings. 

The victory saw them qualify for the ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals for the second time, having reached the same stage in 2019, and the lifelong PSM fan is now hoping to go even further.
