On 20 March, he scored against Selangor at the Jalan Besar Stadium, though the match ended in a 1–1 draw. On 12 May, he scored the Lions' second goal in a 3–3 draw against Kedah.

However, he could not make the starting line-up as fellow LionsXII striker, Khairul Amri, was first choice under head coach Fandi Ahmad. On 15 April, during the game against Pahang, Sufian replaced the injured Khairul Nizam, and in the dying minutes of the game, he became the second LionsXII player to score a hat-trick, (first was by Hariss Harun during the game against Sabah) as the Lions won 4–1. He scored a total of 4 goals in 21 matches for the club.
