INDERA SC are back at the top of the table of the DST Super League and they did so in style.


They demolished basement dwellers Najip FC 20-1 last night to record the largest winning margin in the competition at the Balapan Track & Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.


It was a race between Hamizan Aziz Sulaiman and Azwan Ali Rahman on who can score more goals as they notched eight and seven respectively in the one-sided victory.

Indera SC got off to the best of starts by scoring one of the fastest goals in the competition with Md Nur Ikwan Othman giving them the lead in just the 45th second.

It was 2-0 in the seventh minute after a good solo effort by Mohd Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid.

He skipped past three defenders before firing the shot past Najip FC goalkeeper Mohd Zekaria Hj Jais inside the box.


Hamizan got his first of the night in the 12th minute while Azwan found his first the next minute to make it 4-0.


It was 5-0 in the 16th minute with Azwan blasting it into the net and Hamizan would add to his tally three minutes later from inside the box.


Azwan played a good through-ball to Hamizan to make the scoreline 7-0 in the 29th minute.

The former notched his hat trick in the 36th minute after scoring in a one-on-one situation. 

Captain Mohd Afi Aminuddin got on the scoresheet two minutes later from the penalty spot to put his team into double figures at 10-0.


The only bright moment for Najip came after they earned a penalty two minutes later.

Huzaimi Hj Tengah took the ensuing spotkick and made it 10-1 heading into halftime.

It didn't take long for Azwan to add to his tally in the first minute after the restart.

It was 12-1 in the 52th minute after Hamizan headed home a cross by Mohd Nazirul Nazreen Abdullah from the right.


Mohd Aqmal Hakeem scored his second of the match after connecting from a Muhd Nur Ikwan cross from the left in the 58th minute.


Indera SC showed no mercy and Hamizan blasted another into the net in the 65th minute.

Azwan continued to find the net in the 67th minute and right on the restart Hamizan notched his seventh goal of the game to make it 16-1.


It was 17-1 in the 76th minute after Azwan floated in his freekick from outside the box.

Muhd Nur Ikwan got his brace two minutes later after a mistake by Mohd Zekaria to gift him the goal.


Azwan scored his seventh of the match in the 83rd minute to make it 19-1.

Hamizan then delighted the crowd as they made it 20 goals in the 89th minute.

Indera SC head coach, Ishak Hj Kabon, was delighted with the way his team responded after losing their first match in their campaign last Sunday.


"We lost the last game (to Majra United FC) with the absence of two key players. We needed to win tonight (Saturday) and to score more goals," said Ishak after the triumph.

"We needed this for a confidence booster ahead of our remaining matches. I'm happy with the way things turn out for us," he added.


Indera SC currently are on 13 points while Najip FC remain rooted at the bottom of the 10-team table with zero.


Their stay at the top will be dependent on how the big encounter between two unbeaten teams the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) and Majra FC play out on tomorrow.

The competition continues today with QAF FC going up against Jerudong FC at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas at 4.15pm.

A dominating performance from Indera SC lacked a cutting edge, with the inaugural DST Super League winners forced to recover from Mohd Helmie Noorazmi’s first half header through Reduan bin Hj Petara’s 65th minute strike. Their lack of conviction proved fatal in the ensuing penalty shoot-out as they missed two penalties as LLRC FT celebrated a hard-fought victory. The team from Kuala Belait took the lead in the 7th minute, when Mohd Helmie Noorazmi headed home from close range. They remained in control for the rest of the half, but a ...

BAYONG SENDS QAF FC TO SUMMIT

Jason Thomas BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Tuesday, July 14, 2009 VIBAN FRANCIS BAYONG broke Jerudong FC's hearts last night with a goal in injury-time to send QAF FC back to the top of the DSTGroup Brunei Premier League I (BPL I) with a 2-1 win. Though he netted both of the defending champions' goals at the Balapan Track & Field, Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas, the Cameroonian midfielder was quick to deflect any individual praise. A free-kick from Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin Pg Ramlee in the 92nd minute was met by Bayong, who also opened the scoring for QAF FC in the 27th minute when he tapped in a header from Md Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid. "I thank the team for playing well ... All the guys did a great job today (Monday)," said Bayong. "It is not only about Viban, we won because the team played well. Did you see that cross? If it wasn't for him (Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin) we would not have won," he added. With the Royal Brunei Armed Forces ...

Picture: BT file Two-time DST Super League champions Indera Sports Club (SC) have been successfully granted a replay against Tabuan Muda (the national Under-23 team). The match last month was called off after 61 minutes when Indera captain Shahrin Hj Momin was sent off for a second yellow card, leaving the team with just eight players. The referee stopped the game and told both teams the match could not continue if one side has only eight players in the team – which is against FIFA’s ‘Laws of the Game 2015/2016’. In the rule book, Law 3 states that “A match is played by two teams, each consisting of not more than eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than seven players.” National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) have confirmed in a press yesterday that the match will now be played tomorrow at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hass...
