Picture: BT/Yee Chun Leong DPMM FC have signed left-back Abd Mu’iz Sisa to replace the injured Sairol Hj Sahari for the rest of their Singapore League (S-League) campaign.

Both set of players waited for the judgment as the referee flashed the red card to Indera’s Hardi Bujang prompting a tirade of verbal exchanges between both clubs and the match officials. Hardi returned to the pitch clearly annoyed by the actions of his former QAF team-mate and had to be separated from each other as Afindi continued lying in the ground.
