Penang started off well by taking a 2-0 lead with goals from Mohd Rashid Baharom (13th minute) and Ahmad Termidzi Ismail (22nd) respectively.
But Selangor showed tremendous fighting spirit to score three goals in the space of nine minutes to take a 3-2 lead in the first half.
Faridzul Afiq (26th), Shahrul Dennis Roslan Henry (32nd) and Abdullah Sani (35th) scored the goals for Selangor.
Penang managed to equalise in the 45th minute through Mohd Azri Hassan off a penalty corner. But Selangor made good use of their two penalty corners in the second half to win the match.
Mohd Nor Faez Ibrahim (49th) and Hairul Nizam Mazlan (54th) converted both the penalty corners to give Selangor a deserving victory.
Pahang also got off to a flying start by hammering Sarawak 6-0 in a Group D match yesterday.
