# 2010 Negeri Sembilan FA season

The 2010 season was Negeri Sembilan's 5th season in Malaysia Super League since it was first introduced in 2004, the top flight of Malaysian football.

Negeri Sembilan played in the Malaysian Super League and the Malaysian FA Cup. Negeri Sembilan qualified for the Malaysia Cup, after finishing seventh in the Super League, Negeri qualified for the Malaysia Cup final for the first time with their coach Wan Jamak Wan Hassan. They won the trophy after defeating Kelantan FA. Midfielder Shahurain Abu Samah capitalised on a defensive mix-up in the Kelantan box to open the scoring in the 18th minute before on-loan Malaysian international striker Hairuddin Omar doubled the lead a minute into the second half. Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Radzak put the result beyond doubt when he converted a penalty in the 58th minute after Shahurain Abu Samah was brought down. Kelantan, who were chasing their first Malaysia Cup title after finishing runner-up, scored a consolation goal in stoppage time through a free-kick from striker Indra Putra Mahayuddin, the competition's leading scorer. Negeri ended their FA campaign at Semi-Final, defeated by Kelantan FA.
