Maldives goalkeeper Mohamed Faisal has expressed his satisfaction at maintaining his unbeaten record against Sri Lanka, following a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the South Asian Super Cup.

While the Maldives had a dominant performance in the first leg—winning 3-0—Sri Lanka showed greater control in the second match. Despite that, the Maldives continued to create several attacking chances, and Faisal stood strong between the posts.

Faisal was instrumental in keeping the score level and was named Man of the Match for his impressive performance in goal during the second leg.
