Penang Dominates Pahang in Commanding 76-55 MSSM Victory

## Penang Puts on an Offensive Clinic On a charged Monday evening at Chung Ling Private High School, the Pulau Pinang (MSSM 2026) squad delivered a statement performance, overwhelming Pahang with a 76-55 victory. From the opening tip-off, Penang set a blistering pace, establishing an early 17-11 lead that they would never relinquish. Their disciplined transition offense and cohesive ball movement proved too much for the Pahang defense to handle, allowing the visitors to steadily build their momentum throughout the four quarters. ## Goh Kar Yueh Leads the Charge The story of the night was undoubtedly the explosive performance of Goh Kar Yueh, who paced the floor for Pulau Pinang with an impressive 26 points. While Pahang fought valiantly to close the gap, they struggled to contain the perimeter threat and internal penetration orchestrated by Penang’s offensive engine. Han Yue Joy provided essential support with 13 points, while Lim Wen Xuan acted as the floor general, dishing out 6 assists to ensure the Penang offense remained efficient and unpredictable. ## Pahang’s Resolute Effort Despite the final score, Pahang demonstrated significant grit, particularly through the dual-threat production of Seah Run Jie and Yong Hui Yan, who both tallied 13 points apiece. Yong Hui Yan’s double-double performance—adding 10 rebounds to his 13 points—kept Pahang competitive on the glass, while Chong Xin Yuan contributed a solid 12 points. However, Pahang found themselves unable to match the consistent scoring runs from their opponents, as Penang outscored them in every single frame of the contest. ## Looking Ahead This 21-point victory serves as a major boost for Pulau Pinang in the MSSM Penang U18 tournament standings. By maintaining composure and extending their lead in the third quarter—where they outscored Pahang 23-15—Penang proved they have the depth and stamina required for a deep tournament run. For Pahang, the focus will now shift to defensive adjustments as they look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.
