MAJRA DOWN INDERA 2-0, ENTER SEMIS

BY WARDI BUNTAR MAJRA FC outshone Indera Sports Club 2-0 at the Balapan Track & Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas last night. A night of speedy runs and constant high passes, both teams pressured each other throughout the match to earn a place in the semifinals. In the first half, it seemed that they were equally good in their defence and offence. It was only during the second half that the deadlock was broken when an Indera defender fouled Majra's striker in the penalty box. A penalty goal for Adi Said in the 68th minute, his team was not satisfied with just one goal. With a panicking Indera SC, the players were blasting the ball from left to right, trying to find the back of the net but Majra's defensive wall did not break down as their backline ensured that they maintained the scoreline.

BY JASON THOMAS Jerudong fight back to take a point from Indera. INDERA SC and Jerudong FC settled for a share of the points in their DST Group Brunei Premier League (BPL) I game which ended 1-1 last night. Both goals at the Berakas Sports Complex were scored inside the first 10 minutes, and though the teams would continue to create chances, neither were able to capitalise. Muhd Afi Aminuddin, one of the six DPMM FC players in Indera, opened the scoring in the first minute before Jerudong's Md Sufian Hj Lamudin equalised six minutes later. The result pushes Indera from fifth to fourth by displacing AM Gunners FC. AM Gunners, who started the weekend on third, have now dropped two spots as a result of last night's game and the 1-1 draw between Majra FC and the Prisons Department on Saturday night. Jerudong, on the other hand, remain seventh in the nine-team league. Though he was pleased with the result, Indera coach Moksin Mohamed felt his team could have done better
