SUBSTITUTE goalkeeper Abdul Rahman became the unsuspecting hero for Indera SC last night after he saved a penalty that sent his team through to the semi-finals of the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) Redbull Futsal Championship 2012.

Indera SC defeated Pega Star Team 7-6 in the quarter-finals played at the Indoor Stadium of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

Both team were equally matched at defence and offence. The first half though saw the Pega Star Team in control with quick tricks and low passes, while Indera SC relied on long passes and low shots for goal.

At the fifth minute, a high throw from Pega Star's keeper saw the ball landed to his teammate's feet which saw the player quickly feed the ball into Indera SC's box which left Indera's keeper with no chance as a Pega Star player shot wildly into the net, opening the score at 1-0.

After scoring, Pega Star's offence got confident and decided to keep taking chances for goal leaving Indera only to hold on to their defence trying their best to take back in controlling the game.

The second half saw a different Indera SC as they change their momentum to playing with shorter passes which proved to be useful as a quick left cross had Mohd Junaidi tap the ball into the net in the 28th minute, making it 1-1.

The game was decided on penalty shootouts to which Indera SC came out as the better team.
Last night's also saw another quarter-final game in which Arbisham beat Shah United with a score of 3-0. Arbisham will meet Indera SC on September 24 at the Multipurpose Hall of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

MS ABDB will face FC Phosphor and PHJ F will go against Kota Junior for the quarter-final matches tomorrow night at the Indoor Stadium.

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

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

INDERA SC IN POLE POSITION FOR THE SECOND PLACE

INDERA SC are in pole position of securing second place in the DST Super League needing just a point from their remaining two fixtures to fend off interest from nearest rivals Najip I-Team.    Najip will be guaranteed at least a top three finish after receiving news of Wijaya’s defeat to Indera SC. Najip’s hard fought 2-1 victory over Jerudong FC at the Track & Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex kept their slim hopes of second place alive.    After months of tangling in a serious battle with the dethroned winners while MS ABDB were enjoying a phenomenal season, second place could be sewed if Tabuan Muda stumble to further disappointment, Indera’s upcoming opponent.    Nevertheless, Najip I-Team have an opportunity to conjure a 13th victory in 18 games with three points at the expense of Wijaya FC, who themselves are in danger of relinquishing fourth place if Tabuan return to the fore as a force.    Tabuan Muda have not seen action in th
