KILANAS FC progressed to the next round of the Brunei FA Cup after defeating Rimba Star Junior on Sunday.

One of the 15 teams making its debut in the tournament, the non-league Rimba Star Junior were beaten 3-0 at the Balapan Track and Field in Berakas with goals scored by Kilanas FC's Mohd Khairul Hj Abdul Halim, Naasiruddeen Abdul Wahab and Izzul Wazien Osman.

With Kilanas FC recently qualified for the Brunei Super League, they were the favourites to progress to the next round of the FA Cup. However, Kilanas FC's assistant coach Mohd Radzuan Hj Madali was full of praise of the non-league team.

"Rimba Stars Junior were impressive. The players are young and they played very well. Their defence were well organised. It took us many tries to break the defence," said Mohd Radzuan.

"We are more experience than them so we managed to control the game. Overall our players have more composure and managed to beat them in the end. Mohd Khairul, Naasiruddeen and goalkeeper Mohd Faisal were outstanding today.

"We will play Sangsura FC next. We need to be at our best as Sangsura FC are strong and well discipline team. It is going to be a great game and we are looking forward to the match," he added.
