A MAN down, Indera SC managed to hold QAF FC to a 1-1 draw during
their DST Super League match last night.
The game changer for Indera SC took place when they were leading 1-0
before having Mohd Rakin Ramli sent off in the 42nd after committing a
dangerous tackle.
Indera SC started the match off strong making a number of significant
attacks within the first 10 minutes of the game before QAF FC finally shifted
in to the same gear.
Mohd Asri Hj Aspar scored the opening goal through superb play by
Indera SC in the 28th minute at the Berakas Sports Complex.
The passage of play started in their own half at the feet of Sahrin
Momin who played a perfectly timed pass to Hamizan Aziz Sulaiman, which was
quickly laid off to Muhd Nur Ikwan Othman while they were competing against QAF
FC’s last three men in defence.
Ikwan then knocked the ball ahead of the bunch, which Mohd Asri chased
down before sliding the ball in to the bottom right corner of the goal.
Indera SC continued to show they were the more lethal of the two in
offence but unfortunately were reduced to 10 men leading up to the end of the
first half.
QAF FC came out with a bang showing more control when the whistle blew
for the second half.
Their constant pressure was no surprise and led to their equaliser
through Sam Frank in the 49th minute.
Frank scored an easy tap in by the left post when Petrus Jumat managed
to pass the ball across the face of goal, just in front of the goalkeeper.
Both teams continued to apply pressure to one another seeing countless
scoring opportunities leading up to the final whistle.
Indera SC coach Hj Omar Hj Jamil felt that despite he was down one
man, the rhythm of the game was still good.
“It’s just that we weren’t lucky even though we had five or six tries
that didn’t go in,” said Hj Omar in an interview with The Brunei Times.
“Our organisation and attack was okay, maybe if he had 11 players we
could have scored two or three goals,” added Hj Omar.
QAF FC captain Muhd Hardyman Abdul Lamit was unhappy with the end
results as he felt they should have won the game.
“I was sure that we could have won but we just didn’t have the luck,”
said Hardyman.
“Many of our players were suspended and still injured from last week,”
he added.
The Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) outplayed
Kilanas FC 4-1 at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National
Stadium in Berakas.
The action continues this Wednesday when between Najip FC clash with
the Royal Brunei Police Forces Sports Council at the Balapan Track and Field at
8pm.
Both teams have won both their two games they’ve played so far in the
league.
