DPMM WIN FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST INDERA BEFORE MSL

BY JASON THOMAS

MAINTAINING match fitness is high on DPMM FC's agenda.


In order to ensure their players are at peak condition before their Malaysian Super League date with Melaka on May 2, the club yesterday organised a friendly against Indera FC which they won 5-1.

Affendy Hj Akup gave Indera a taste of things to come when he got on the score-sheet barely five minutes into the game after connecting with a pass from Nigerian Daniel Nnadi.

He is on trial with DPMM who currently sit third in the 13-teams MSL table.

Playing for DPMM for the first time, Nnadi found the back of the net himself a few minutes later during a one-on-one with Indera's goalkeeper.

Fadlin Galawat made it 3-0 after latching on to a low cross from the left five minutes later.

Indera got a goal to their name off a free-kick, but Nnadi scored a nearly identical goal to his first at the end of the first half to give DPMM a 4-1 lead heading into the locker room.

Muhd Maududi, 17-year-old, did a great job of marshalling the midfield in the second half, and alongside captain Rosmin Hj Mohd Kamis, prevented Indera from seeing too much of the ball.

Rosmin scored his team's fifth goal just before the full time whistle, latching on a a cross-field pass from Alejandro Tobar which caught Indera's defence sleeping, to calmly slot the ball past a helpless Indera goalie.

Though Nnadi had several chances to claim a hat-trick, his lack of finishing meant he had to settle for only two goals.

"I like playing here, and the atmosphere is so welcoming and I feel as if we are brothers," said Nnadi.

"I'm happy with my performance today, but I had many chances to score and if I just have some time I am sure I can improve."

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

It was an equally matched first half with neither team being able to control the midfield. Indera did break the deadlock before halftime with Md Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid scoring the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute. He received a good through ball to get behind two defenders and placed his shot past the outstretched arm of MS PDB goalkeeper Md Khairol Amin Hj Zainuddin. MS PDB had the upperhand in the aerial battle and enjoyed ball possession early on in the second half. Md Syarafuddin Hamdi Hj Talip had a good chance to equalise in the 55th minute after towering over the Indera defenders but his header was off target. Indera were going with the long ball and hoping to get behind the MS PDB backlin

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 reshuffle
