LionsXII goalkeeper Hyrulnizam Juma’at will attempt to foil Selangor forward and former EPL hitman Bosko Balaban on Tuesday, as his team aim to extend their unbeaten streak to eight league and cup games.

The 25-year-old custodian is getting his shot on the big stage because of Izwan Mahbud’s injury and he has seized his opportunity with both size 10 hands. In the three games he’s played, Hyrulnizam has already kept two clean sheets, conceding just the one goal.

The current No.2 has set his sights on keeping his place in the first team, knowing that another clean sheet against Balaban and company could lead to an extended run-out.
