MS PDB DENIED SECOND SPOT AS INDERA SCORES LATE

MS PDB were denied second spot by a goal in the dying minutes of the game during the 3-3 draw with Indera SC in the DST Super League at the Berakas Sports Complex last night.

The police personnel looked set to record their third successive win in the league but a 95th minute strike from Mohamed Aminuddin Zakwan bin Mohamed Tahir rescued a point for his side.

The two-time league champions endured a three-game winless run having accumulated just two points out of a maximum nine points as their hopes of wrestling the crown took a hit.

MS PDB, who started the game with the same number of points as Indera SC, also had a chance to move into second place with victory.

MS PDB forward Abdul Azim bin Abdul Rashid underlined his threat as the focal point of attack with his excellent dribbling and his movement caused concerns in the Indera backline.

Muhd Azri bin Zahari found the breakthrough after a neat finish into the bottom corner in the 32nd minute but Indera SC made an instant response through Hamizan Aziz bin Sulaiman whose effort somehow crept in the near post three minutes later.

Indera’s towering defender Amirul Hakeem bin Haji Kasim got to the end of a decent cross but his header was comfortably dealt with by MS PDB goalkeeper Salman Anak Sinchun.

Salman nearly gifted a goal after losing the ball which slipped into the path of Hamizan. The goal-scorer instinctively delivered a cross into the box and a MS PDB defender half-heartedly cleared the ball into Iner Sintany Putra whose goal-bound effort was blocked for a corner.

The police personnel regained the lead through Abdul Azim in the 49th minute but Indera came back again through a 72nd minute penalty by Mohammad Asri bin Haji Aspar.

MS PDB were heading for all three points after Md Fazizzul bin Hussin struck in the 75th minute but S League winner Mohamed Aminuddin Zakwan scored deep into stoppage time to earn his side the share of the spoils.

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...
